Julie Andrews is reported to have done a concert for AARP, at which she sang her hit from the Sound Of Music, but
the words were changed. Here are the new words to this tune:
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 creek
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feet so bad.
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 thinning
And we won't mention
Our short shrunken frames
If we can remember
Our friends and their names.
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.
