Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied
up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillac's and
cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false
teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These
are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak,
When the bones
creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite
things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn
pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes
and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite
things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin
bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our
short, shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When
the joints ache,
When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I
remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so
bad.
