Maalox and nosedrops and needles for knittin',
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittin's,
Bundles of magazines tied up with string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
> Cadillacs, cataracts, hearing aids, glasses,
> Polident, Fixodent, 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,
> Then I 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 nor food cook'd 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,
> Then I remember the great life I've had,
> And then I don't feel so bad.
> THEN I REMEMBER THE GREAT LIFE I'VE HAD
> AND THEN I DON'T FEEL SOOOO BAAAAD !!!!
