Our Favorite Things
by Laura Hartman
based on "My Favorite Things" by Rodgers & Hammerstein
(Sung by the Class of 2001 and friends at their final dinner in the Dining Hall, as a thank-you to Jim Beeson.)
Twelve kinds of cereal
And crisp apple strudel
Soft-serve ice cream cones
And sesame noodles
Candlelight dinners on all holidays
These are the things that make us want to stay
Vegan chocolate cookies
And make your own waffles
Yummy zebra pudding
And pita and falafel
Great Cousin Dave Britts
And Terry at the door
These are the reasons we come back for more
When the stomach growls
When the mouth drools
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember the cafeteria
And then I don't feel so bad!
The people you meet here
The people you come with
Those who put green things
Into the hummus
Jim who will sing all his wonderful songs
Collins Cafeteria — where we belong!
When the stomach growls
When the mouth drools
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember the cafeteria
Which I will miss like mad!
