Julie Andrews - Priceless!

Born Julia Elizabeth Wells on October 1st, 1935, in Walton-on-Thames,
Surrey. Julie Andrews, to commemorate her 71st 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, When we remember our 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 fear of 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.
