To commemorate her birthday , actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews made a
special appearance at Manhattan 's Radio City Music Hall for a benefit.
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 hysterical!!!
pause between words
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.)
