(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially hysterical!!!

>

> Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,

> Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,

> Bundles of magazines tied up in string,

> These are a few of my favourite things.

> Cadillacs and cataracts, 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 or food cooked with onions,

> Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,

> These are a few of my favourite things...

>

> Back pain, confused brains and no need for 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,

> Then I remember the great life I've had,

> And then I don't feel so bad.
