All right you music lovers, here is one for you. It was sent to me by a friend. I don't know if it is true that Julie Andrews sang it but if she did I wish I could have heard it. Have fun. :)
This one is too cute....do you remember her "Sound of Music"? How could you forget, right? Enjoy, and sing along !
To commemorate her 69th 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, 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 th ey bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin', (slightly edited for
content) 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.
