[Rhodes22-list] JULIE ANDREWS TURNS 69 (Humor)

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

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 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.)  Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and 
humor with  others who would appreciate it.
