Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up with string
These are a few of my favourite things…
Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixident and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favourite things.
When he pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When my knees go bad
I simply remember my favourite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad…
Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads to 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 favourite things…
Back pain, confused brain, 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 favourite things…
When the joints ache,
When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
And then I remember the great life I’ve had,
And then I don’t feel so bad…

    I loved Julie Andrews doing that.
    We have been a family of “Flintstones, meet the Flintstones” singers for years. Don’t have a clue why that song.

  3. Shortstu says:

    I love these lyrics! I sing two songs in the shower. One song is “The Sound of Music” & the other song is, “She’s A Lady” by Tom Jones. I love singing the Sound of Music!

    As old Jim Baccus used to say, ” Oh Magoo, you’ve done it again.”
    If I allowed favorites, you’d be one of them.

    Suzie S you are the real deal. You are genuine. You are brilliant. You make me happy. If I can just get that verse in my head I will be the star at the next family reunion and I will give you full credit. They all know me so they will know that I didn’t come up with something that great. Either you are a famous lyricist or you have missed your calling. God’s Blessing to you.
    If I start singing that in the shower either I am going to run all of the water out of the cistern or I’m going to get cleaner than a whistle.
