To commemorate her birthday, actress/vocalist Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall. One of the musical numbers she performed was 'My Favourite Things' from the legendary movie 'The Sound Of Music'.
Here are the lyrics she used - especially funny if you sing it:
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 favourite 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 favourite 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 favourite 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 favourite things
When the joints ache, when the hips break
When the eyes grow dim
But 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.
