Julie
Andrews Turns 69...
To commemorate her birthday ,
actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan
's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she performed was
'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of Music'. Here
are the lyrics she used:
(Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially
hysterical!
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.
Cadillacs
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
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 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)
