Laughin' 'til it pisses everybody off
Pullin' up my dress at a dinner meeting
Kissin' 'til 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 98"
Hold her in my arms tell her I'll be all right

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 all right
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.
