My Least Favorite Things

  • tune: My Favorite Things

Shirts from Honduras and Nikes from China,
Clothes made in sweatshops in North Carolina,
All wrapped in packages tied up with strings—
These are a few of my least favorite things.
What kind of labor lies behind the labels?
Did you think sweatshops were long-ago fables?
They’re very widespread in the Third World today.
Their products are sold just a few blocks away.

  • If no one knows it,
    Let’s expose it—
    Make it go away.
    Refuse to buy goods
    That aren’t made as they should!
    Let us begin today!

Skirts made in Malaysia in sweatshop conditions,
Clothes sewn in Toronto for Northern Traditions,
All wrapped in packages tied up with strings—
These are a few of my least favorite things.

  • If no one knows it,
    Let’s expose it—
    Make it go away.
