JULIE ANDREWS'
BIRTHDAY
To commemorate her 69th birthday,
actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at
One of the musical numbers she performed
was "My Favorite Things" from the legendary movie "Sound Of
Music".
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.
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 pains, confused brains, and no fear
of 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.
