MY FAVOURITE THINGS, NOT


from the ABC set MUSICAL MATTERS

Black spot on roses and fingerless mittens
Green stinging nettles and flea ridden kittens
All creepy crawlies and insects with wings
These are a few of my un-favourite things

When my back aches
When my head spins
When I’m fighting mad
I just remember my un-favourite things,
And then I feel twice as bad.

Girls in tight trousers too small for their arses
People pretending that they don’t wear glasses
Long bitter winters and damp dismal springs
These are a few of my un-favourite things

When my back aches
When my head spins
When I’m fighting mad
I just remember my un-favourite things,
And then I feel twice as bad.

People who talk while I’m watching the telly
Women who show off too much of their bellies
Anyone who whistles and tunelessly sings
These are a few of my un-favorite things

When my back aches
When my head spins
When I’m fighting mad
I just remember my un-favourite things,
And then I feel twice as bad.

Really enjoyed this clever,
I love the Song 'These are my favourite things'.
I am actually humming it this as reading,good.
I used to sing it, to our daughter as babe,when
then changing her nappies,she would giggle all
the time.There are so many aches,and pains aren't
there, ' A spoonfull of sugar,is it,helps the medicine go down'.
