Colorful cupcakes and  baskets of yarn

Dainty teacups and snow covered barns

Swap meets with treasures that make me sing

These are a few of my favorite things

Rainy afternoons and puddles to jump in

Fuzzy alpacas and knitted mittens

Cakes that easily pop out of silver baking tins

These are a few of my favorite things

Vintage bookstores and animal stencils

The smell of newspapers and old fashioned pencils

Window-sill reading and dancing to swing

These are a few of my favorite things

When traffic starts

When it gets too hot

When I’m feeling upset

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don’t have to fret
