My Favorite Things Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Interlude]
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
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

On this track, Clarkson delivers a jazzy rendition of “My Favorite Things” from Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Broadway musical The Sound of Music. The song is originally sung as a duet between the characters Maria and Mother Abbess.

Interestingly, it’s the only song on Wrapped in Red that is not a wintertime or Christmas song.
