Here are the actual 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 favourite 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 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 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 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.

A man, new in town, goes to the best brothel in the city. Choosing the
best looking girl in the place, he retires to a large and well-appointed
suite, where he has some of the best sex of his life. Satiated, the man
asks the madam, "How much do I owe you?"
The madam motions for him to put away his money. She then pulls two
hundred dollars out of a purse and gives it to him. She fends off all his
attempts for an explanation.
Naturally, the man returns the following evening. He gets the same
treatment, and is again given two hundred dollars.
The third night he does the same thing, but when he sees the madam she
asks him for three hundred dollars.
"Wait a minute," he says. "The first night you gave me two hundred
dollars. The second night you gave two hundred dollars. Now you want me
to pay you three hundred? Why?"
The madam smiles and says, "Tonight you weren’t being filmed."
