FAVORITE THINGS... THE MUSICAL

I have a Best Friend that forces me to come over and watch The Sound Of Music with her every time it is on tv, while drinking copious amounts of wine.  (And yes, we always cry when the evil Baroness tricks Maria into leaving).  She inspired me to re-write "These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things" into a Pilot version.  My apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein. 

(sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound Of Music)

Boeing made aircraft that all have wide bodies,
New Flight Attendants that are young and hotties,
Piping hot coffee the Steward does bring,
These are a few Pilots' favorite things.

When the phone rings, with a bad trip,
When the wife is mad,
They simply remember their favorite things,
then Pilots don't feel so bad.

Jim Beam that's poured over ice cubes in my glass,
Laying in comfort while my Wife mows our grass,
Much younger girlfriends all covered with bling,
These are a few Pilots' favorite things.

When the boat breaks, when the beer's gone,
Hating my crash pad,
They simply remember their favorite things,
then Pilots don't feel so bad.

Big boats and watches and really fast sports cars,
Sweet long layovers close to high end strip bars,
Laying on beaches in Nice in the Spring,
These are a few Pilots' favorite things.

When commuting, when they're sleepy,
When enough they've had,
They simply remember their favorite things,
then Pilot's don't feel so bad.


(Come to think of it, my apologies to Julie Andrews as well).
