The song...

Favorite things.....

Girl's in white dresses with blue satin sashes......

Rain drops on roses, whiskers on kittens....
These are a few of my favorite things.....!

When the dog bites when the bee stings when I'm feeling sad......I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so bad....!


-Sound of Music.
