This is really easy; the only thing you needed to remember is that
lyrics can only be applied to a Voice context.
Besides, you had many useless things in your snippet, but I guess you
will add some notes as you daughter progress :)

Here is your 'favorite things' snippet, ready to be played.

Regards,
Valentin
