There are rumors that Julie Andrews did a concert for AARP. Ms.
Andrews sang a favorite from the Sound of Music, My Favorite Things.
There were a few changes to the words, to fit in with the AARP theme.
Here are the new words to the same tune:

Maalox 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 favorite things.

Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot foods or food cooked with onion,.
Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring,
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.

Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with strings,
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 shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite 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.
