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 :
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.
Cadillac's 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.)

Sorry, Ramboaus, but the story is fiction. Although the song lyrics are amusing, there is no truth to Julie Andrews singing this song at Radio City Music Hall.

What a bummer. I believed it was true. Any way as you say the lyrics are amusing indeed. Cheers _________________ Cheers Ram http://www.vadclub.com |

It is interesting how every one rolls on the floor laughing their assess off. I am yet to figure out how to laugh through my back side Does this happen when you roll on the floor 
We people down under in the southern hemisphere may be fighting gravity to simulate this _________________ Cheers Ram http://www.vadclub.com |
