These are some of my favorite things

zantac and prozac and needles for knitting

walkers and handrails and new dental fittings

bundles of hello mags tied up with string

these are a few of my favorite things

cataracts and stairlifts, hearing aids and glasses

polident, 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 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 thinin'

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 b
