JULIE  ANDREWS

Love Julie Andrews, an epitome of grace and yet an approachable air about her. Came across a parody penned by her on the song....which else..."these are a few of my favorite things". It shows her intact wit and humor and an equally intact 'move-on' attitude towards life! Sharing it for all the Julie Andrews/ sound of music/ favorite things song fans. Sing it to the tune and have a wonderful weekend!!


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.

Cadillac's 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 favourite 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,
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 lasting several minutes and encore when she recited it in a function to commemorate her birthday.)
