Dandies & Violets, Cornsilk and Roses, Chickweed in salads, & pollen on noses, Hollyhock towers all tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things! Beeswax and Honey, all gooey and sticky, Marigolds running off bugs that are icky, deep purple Basil and Lemon Balm zings, these are a few of my favorite things! When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I just remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel so bad!
All my love and appreciation to composer, Richard Rodgers for the melody I know you all heard in your heads; and to lyricist, Oscar Hammerstein II for the last stanza, which belongs entirely to him!
