To commemorate her birthday Julie Andrews mde a special appearance at Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall.

One of songs she performed was “My Favourite Things” from the legendary music “Sound of Music”

To reflect the number of years that have passed since it was first sung, Julie made a few amendments to the words…..

It helps if you sing along:

Botox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of Magazines tied up with string,
These are a few of my favourite 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 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 go dim,
Then I remember the great life I’ve had,
And then I don’t feel so bad!



She received a four minute standing ovation and had to go through several encores.

Why would you put a corn pad on a bunion? That doesn't make sense?

Where's Fatboy when you need him?
