I love the tune of that song, even though, as you say, THE LYRICS. But in terms of metre and syllables and so on, it's very invitingly written. And the twirling!
I think my favorite part of Liesl's story is when she climbs up the side of the house and nearly ruins her dress, and then realizes that Maria isn't going to out her. Unexpected bonding will get me, every time.
I actually have very mixed feelings about the movie. On one hand, Julie Andrews and gorgeous scenery! And I quite like about 2/3 of the songs, although this is not a great musical for having the songs integrated into the story; so many of them are strictly set pieces. (Puppets, anyone?)
However, I find Baron von Trapp a fairly useless individual. Also, I always watched a version that was taped off of TV, which was did a pretty good job of cutting the least important bits. It meant, though, that I never saw the wedding scene until a couple of years ago - where we answer the question of "How do we solve a problem like Maria" (which we are singing in the background over the scene) with "We marry her off!" Which. Well.
