new lyrics to Julie Andrew's "my favorite things"

white toenails sticking from ruby's back feet,
i love the gap between shawn's two front teeth,
arm pitts smells musky'
and cheap dry red wine,
these are a few of my favorite things.

my bedroom walls painted sunshiney orange,
art deco 1950's bedside tables,
hand - me - down clothes
and a sewing machine,
these are a few of my favorite things.

elinor's head rubs and cakes made of carob,
sea salted vegetables drowning in lemon,
dad's down home grits ooozing over with lard,
these are a few of my favorite things.

when the temps drop, when the grass dies,
when i'm feeling cold,
i simply remember my favorite things,
and then i feel much more bold.




polaroid's rebirth and junk store postcards,
no cell phone service and blue sky for miles,
photos of flapper girls kicking their heels,
these are a few of my favorite things.

dresses in summer and sunday noon naps,
fresh french pressed coffee and jersey cow cream,
memories of georgia and gangly oak trees,
these are a few of my favorite things.

humorous stories of accidents past,
circuses, dime museums, old carnie shows,
lovers and operas and improv dancers,
these are a few of my favorite things.

when the temps rise, when the grass grows,
when i'm feeling clad,
i simply rehash all my favorite things,
and then i can feel real rad.
