To commemorate her birthday , 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:
Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Cadillacs and cataracts, hearing aids and glasses,
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
Back pain, confused brains and no need for sinnin',
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores..
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
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 knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
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.
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 eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
