As we age, this is most appropriate
It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't so true... Julie Andrews turned 80 -
To commemorate her 80th 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 actual 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.) Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit and humor with others who would appreciate it.

A friend of mine just climbed Mt. Washington on his 80th birthday.
I hope I can climb out of bed when I hit that age.

The height of my bed is between my knee and my butt, so it's easy to get into. In the morning I can just fall out. No climbing required.

it's funny but I don't think she did that.
those lyrics have been around for a while and attributed to her since she was 69 years old.

The attribution may be spurious, but the quotes are frequently right on.
