lorac Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 A friend of mine just sent me this. It's sad, but true. Julie Andrews turned 80 - To commemorate her 80th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of AARP. 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 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 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since I saw "Mary Poppins", then “The Sound of Music” as a little girl, I was hooked! And she seems such a good human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
