Mary Poppins Still Merry in 2009

Some Find Each Decade to be a New Era. Dame Julie Andrews Sang This When She Turned 69, and it is guaranteed to make you smile.

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. It was one of many musical  numbers she performs. This song, ‘My Favorite Things’ she does in the legendary
movie ‘Sound Of Music’.

Follow lyrics she used: Go Ahead. (Sing It!) - If you sing it, its especially a giggler!!!

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 favorite things.
Cadillacs 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 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 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 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. Also an author of children’s books she published her 2008 autobiography, “In Memory Of My Early Years.”
