My Favourite Things

Sung to the tune from Sound Of Music

 

Detox and nose drops and needles tor knitting

Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings

Bundles of magazines tied up in string

These are a few of my favourite things

 

Dodgy backs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses

Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses

Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings

These are a few of my favourite things

 

When the pipes leak

When the bones creak

When the knees go bad

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don't feel so bad

 

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions

No spicy hot food nor food cooked with onions

Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring

These are a few of my favourite things

 

Neck 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 favourite things

 

When the joints ache when the hips break

When the eye grow dim

Then I remember the great life I've had

And then I don't feel so bad.
