Favorite Things

Remember the song about whiskers on kittens and shnitzel with noodle? I was singing it to the kiddos the other day ..... these are a few of my favorite things! Well, we decided to make a list about the things we love about Samoa and then I personally got carried away with writing everything into a song. So />lease give us your best Julie Andrews and sing along!

Slee/>ing in Fales right next to the sea side,
Driving a car down the road on the left side,
Coconuts, mangoes, bananas galore,
These are the Samoan things we adore.

Night blooming blossoms that blow through the window,
Snorkling with kids in the Dee/> of />alolo,
(/>alolo Dee/> is an underwater National />ark)
Cocoa Samoa on a hot Sunday night,
These are some things 'bout Samoa we like.

Bright />ur/>le taro and hot boiled bananas,
O/>en air markets and church ladies fan us,
Leaning />alm trees block the sun u/> above,
These are the things in Samoa we love.

Tight lavalavas that show off yer backside,
Watching the moon as it shines on the high tide,
Huge, furry fruit bats with zig-zaggy wings,
These are our favor-ite Samoan things.

Donald Day Mondays and double scoo/> icecream,
/>addling on Wednesdays-outrigger canoe team,
Flying fish jum/>ing right out of the sea,
I love Samoa, />lease come visit me.

When the dog dies,
Centi/>ede stings,
Neighbor's maid steals my bag,
We sim/>ly remember our favorite things
and then we don't feel.....soooooooooooooooooooo bad!
