Julie Andrews Turning 79 - this is hysterical!
Julie Andrews Turning 79 - this is hysterical!
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!!!
Botox 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, 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. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would appreciate it.)
Sorry, but even though I copy something properly, and edit it to look correct, it screws up when it is posted. However, that doesn't change the fact that any of us who are close to her age would not appreciate and smile at her song. Hum along with it - I'm sure most of you know the tune.
Buzz, you can edit all you want, when articles are posted they have a mind of their own.
LOL, great lyrics. Julie Andrews has a wonderful sense of humor....Good for her.
Great song!
I've always loved Ms. Andrews!
Brilliant!
I found those lyrics on a YouTube video dated 7 years ago. Julie Andrews is 80 years old now and will be 81 October 1, 2016, born 1935.
