Maalox and nose drops,
And needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails
And new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines
All tied up in string.
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts,
And hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent,
And false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers and golf carts,
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 heat pads,
And hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pains, confused brains,
And no fear of 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,
But then I remember
The great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
