Julie Andrews, 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 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 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 and repeated encores.)
