My Favorite Things

[drhowell]

She said it VERY well.

Born Julia Elizabeth Wells on October 1st, 1935, in Walton-on-Thames,
Surrey. Julie Andrews, to commemorate her 71st birthday on October 1,
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:

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,
When we remember our 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.

Thanks for the laugh but it is oh so true! Julie Andrews has always been one of my favorite performers. She has such class. Our grandchildren recently saw Sound of Music and have been going around singing the songs from it.

I love that piece of music and the new words are a hoot. My daughter is a good piano player and she won a competition playing that piece a few years back.
