My Favorite Things
Hartman Johnny Lyrics

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
I love the simple things in life, like the sound of raindrops on a rose bush or the soft fur of a kitten's whiskers

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
I also appreciate more practical things, like a shiny copper kettle to boil water in or a cozy pair of woolen mittens to keep my hands warm

Brown paper packages tied up with strings
Even something as simple as a package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string can bring joy to my life

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
I have a fondness for beautiful creatures like cream colored ponies, and also enjoy the taste of a perfectly baked apple strudel

Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
I find pleasure in the small details of life, like the sound of a doorbell or sleigh bells, and the delicious taste of a traditional German dish made with schnitzel and noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
I also appreciate the beauty of nature, like the sight of wild geese flying with the full moon in the background

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
I have an admiration for elegance and beauty, like the sight of girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
I find joy in the little things, like the sensation of delicate snowflakes resting on my nose and eyelashes

Silver white winters that melt into springs
Finally, I appreciate the cycle of seasons and the beauty of winter transitioning into spring, with its sparkling silver snow and budding flowers

When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When life brings me pain, whether from a dog bite or a bee sting

When I'm feeling sad
When I'm feeling down

I simply remember my favorite things
I focus on the things I love and that bring me joy

And then I don't feel so bad
This helps me feel better and lessens my sadness
