new song - enjoy the humor!

Julie did sing it first! I bet someone else wrote if for her though. http://www.jibjab.com/view/131675 A real insight into the later years of life. No one says it better than Julie!!!!--DR Julie Andrews turns 69 . . . 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, 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.) Share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would appreciate it.

That is really funny!. Did you make up the new lyrics?

OH brilliant! I diligently sang the whole song that you have written in the tune ofJulie Andrews' s song. Except in one or two stanzas where I couldn't exactly imitate it, I sang the whole song. Is it your own verse/ That is great

That's very cute indeed I tried to sing the song and it was making me giggle all the way through. I wish I could hear Julie Andrews sing it herself. But I'm sad she can't sing high notes anymore.

that's a cute song i loved it so much... thanks for the song

I was giggling so hard I could hardly sing it, but made it clear through. I had never heard those lyrics before and must have missed Julie doing it. How cute is that, and how true! As I get older, most of that becomes, if not my favorite things, at least the familiar things! Thanks so much for my daily laugh.

yes I always loved this one

It does take a little time to go back thru your life in your head but I do find I do that more ofeten as me and hubby had a good life.

I've heard that one before, and actually sung it in a nursing home with the residents. We had a blast!!!

Nice One! I've just read this post,and I'm watching a repeat of BBC's "Top Gear" Motoring programme where they try to prove Public or alternative transport can compete with a car-this race has one of the Presenters,Clarkson, Driving a Bugatti Veyron against the other presenters in a Cessna plane travelling between the south of France and London..Clarkson was just coming to the Swiss Border in this hypercar,and the song they Play? Julie Andrews singing "The hills are alive...with the sound of.VWOOOOOOOM!!!

Thank you for sharing, enjoyed very much. Ellie

hahahahaha. This is really funny. I tried to sing it but I am having problems with the tune. Can't really remember the melody too well. But I like it.
