A friend just sent me this. How knows if the urban legend is true or not but what a fun piece!
The Urban Myth is that Julie Andrews sang this at her 69th Birthday—enjoy!
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
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 sad
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions
Bathrobes and heat 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
