“Laughing till it pisses everybody off
Pulling up my dress at a dinner meeting
Kissing till my lips are ready to fall off
Screamin’ all night then just say I’m singing
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
Gold butterflies & gum on a string
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
but doin’ nothin’ is my favorite one
Cashing in on the glory of my biggest mistakes
Fading in the grass basking in the sunlight
Go & say to mama I’ll just drive 98
Hold her in my arms tell her I’ll be all right
Breathe in faith & 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 & gum on a string
Get me high
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But doin’ nothin’ is my favorite one
It’s not the life I thought it would be
But I’ll be all right
I know I will be
So long to circumstance
Cashing in on the glory
Of my biggest mistakes
I’m fading now at last
Basking in sweet sunlight
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
Don’t ask me why
Gold butterflies & gum on a string
Get me high
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But loving you … is my very favorite one.”
