> Here are the lyrics she used:
>
> Maalox 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 favorite
things.
>
> Cadillac's 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
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 heating pads and hot meals they bring, These are a few of
my
favorite things.
>
> Back pains, 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
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.
>
> (Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted
over
four minutes and repeated encores.)
>
> Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would
appreciate it.
