(With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein)
Raindrops on roses and pulling up carrots
Digging the lawn up and squawking like parrots
Jumps on the trampoline, then some pouncing
These are a few of my favourite things
Toasties and porridge and scrounging some salmon
Barbecued chicken and honey-roast gammon
Frisbees and tennis balls with their bouncing
These are a few of my favourite things
Raggies and squeakies and things that have rattles
Cuddles and kisses and playfighting battles
Hiding behind the armchair, then more running
These are a few of my favourite things
When Archie growls
And my teeth sting
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don’t feel so bad
