Fran's Favorite Things

More from the Celebration of Fran Hardcastle—

(There's video of this somewhere)

Fran's Favorite Things,
as rewritten by Jay Hardcastle

A voyage in the islands with the Sheppard Place Navy
She'll throw up her breakfast if it gets too wavy.
Brad Buds and Bran Flakes and high fiber things,
These are a few of her favorite things.

A house in the mountains, a beach to go swimmin',
[Wilson:] A son who can two step,
[Mac and Jay:] and two who like wimmim.
Chicken so dry you'll forget it had wings.
These are a few of her favorite things.

Highlands and Cashiers and Monteagle Mountain,
Ellen, and Bradley and Leland and countin'.
An aging Mercedes with an engine that pings,
These are a few of her favorite things.

When the head aches, when the shins scream,
When John's all pooped out.
She thinks of a few of her favorite things,
And the she goes right...back out.

Ripe southern peaches and rotten bananas.
If you see a brown one, don't touch it, it's Franna's.
Of Shortbread from Scotland and toffee she sings,
These are a few of her favorite things.

Cake that is caramelly and buns that are sticky,
Walks up in Cashiers all buggy and tickie.
A blue dress from Alfred with butterfly wings.
These are a few of her favorite things.

Vodka with olives, served up with a toothpick.
Jazz at the Bistro gives her a Vermouth kick.
Dancing too late 'til the fat lady sings,
These are a few of her favorite things.

When the head aches, when the shins scream,
When John's all pooped out.
She thinks of a few of her favorite things,
And the she goes right...back out.
