I've seen it all, I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens;
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens;
I've seen a man killed by his best friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
Brown paper packages tied up with strings;
These are a few of my favorite things.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels;
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles;
I haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say I had better to do
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings;
These are a few of my favorite things.
What about China? Have I seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes;
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes;
And the one I will marry?
The home we will share?
To be honest, I really don't care...
Silver-white winters that melt into springs;
These are a few of my favorite things.
