My Favorite Things

Or for all you Canucks and Brits, "My Favourite Things" originally from that great musical, The Sound of Music.

New Lyrics (as sung by Satan) Original Lyrics (as sung by Julie Andrews)
Hot spreading gossip and rumour mills flying
Jealousy straining and stubbornness reigning
Pastors who lordly demand their own way
These are a few of my favourite things		 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
Permissive parents with rules that are errant
Blaming and flaming and app'tites not taming
Teens with high hormones and parents away
These are a few of my favourite things		 Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
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
Knees never bowing and eyes never crying
Faith that is dying and tongues that are lying
Hearts that are too proud to turn to God's way
These are a few of my favourite 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 saints pray
When they forgive
When they turn to God
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad.		 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
