My Favorite Things
New words for the Julie Andrews classic

Maalox & nose drops
& needles for knitting
Walkers & 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
& 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 & heat pads,
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 !!!!
