(sing to the tune of the "Sound of Music"
Good return visits and good Bible studies;
Fruitful long hours with my service buddies;
Magazine routes that are flourishing well;
People that tell me that I'm doing swell.
Doughnuts and coffee and hot chocolate steaming
Placed all my literature--think that I'm dreaming;
People who welcome the good news I bring;
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the dog bites; When the door slams; When I'm told "get lost".
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel....so cross.
Big service meetings and publishers plenty;
Finding sheep-like ones though they are not many;
Cars that keep running though tied up with string;
Pioneer school and the joy that it brings.
Blue skies and sunshine although it is our fate;
To live in the cloudiest spot in the whole state;
Getting my time in on days that it rained;
People who help me when I'm feeling drained.
When I'm so broke; That it's no joke; When I'm unemployed;
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I'm no so....annoyed.
Drafts up our dresses and holes in our mittens;
Ice on our boots and our toes get frost bitten;
Householders screaming abusively loud;
Please tell me there's just one sheep in this crowd.
Wind that is cutting and noses that freeze;
A lunch of some hot macaroni and cheese;
Telling the world of our glorious king;
These are a few of my favorite things.
When I feel ill; And the group's nil; When it's wet and gray;
I simply remember my favorite things, and then I stay out....all day.
