When Julie Andrews celebrated her 69th birthday
It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't so t
Andrews turned 69 - To commemorate her 69th birthday on October rue... Julie1,
actress/ vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at
Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP (American
Association of Retired Persons). One of the musical numbers she
performed was 'My Favorite Things' from the legendary movie 'Sound Of
Music.' 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.
______________
Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident an 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,
Then I don't feel......so......bad.
______________
Hot tea and crumpets and com 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.
______________
I BET YOU PUT THAT TO MUSIC !
( Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over 4 minutes and repeated encores )
