«My Favorite Things» is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. The song was first introduced by Mary Martin and Patricia Neway in the original Broadway production and sung by Julie Andrews in the 1965 film.
In the musical, the lyrics to the song are a reference to things Maria loves, such as ‘raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens’. These are the things she selects to fill her mind with when times are bad.
- raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
- bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
- brown paper packages tied up with strings
- these are a few of my favorite things
- cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
- doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
- wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
- these are a few of my favorite things
- girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
- snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
- silver-white winters that melt into springs
- 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…
