Laughin' till it pisses everybody off
Pullin' up my dress at a dinner meeting
Kissin' till my lips are ready to fall off
Screamin' all night then just say I'm singin'
Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Gold butterflies and gum on a string
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But doin' nothin' is my favorite one

Cashin' in on the glory of my biggest mistakes
Fading in the grass basking in the sunlight
Go and say to mama, "I'll just drive ninety eight"
Hold her in my arms tell her, "I'll be alright"

Breath in faith and hope and a big fat cigarette
Drowning in the wine having no regrets
Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Don't ask me why
Gold butterflies and gum on a string
Get me high
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But doin' nothin' is my favorite one

And it's not the life I thought it would be
But I'll be alright, I know, I will be, so long to circumstance
Cashin' in on the glory of my biggest mistakes
I'm fadin' now at last baskin' in sweet sunlight
Yeah these are some of my favorite things

Don't ask me why
Gold butterflies and gum on a string
Get me high
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But loving you son is my very favorite one
