Heidi Starr's tribute to John: John's Favorite Things

(Lyrics from Heidi's performance at our benefit dinner for the Director's Discretionary Fund, March 31, 2019)

​

Musical selections that always inspire,

John leads his singers through brimstone and fire,

Gorgeous cantatas with woodwinds and strings,

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS

​

Imitating soprani or belting like Merman

We love singing all tongues, tho' we bitch about the German.

Cool boyish hairdos, big watches, no rings,

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS.

 

Although his schedule is often quite frantic,

his taste in old movies is downright romantic.

His humor is priceless, his punchlines just ZING!

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS....

​

Where's my pencil?

Mary's got one!

I feel such the CAD...

I simply remember my favorite things,

AND THEN I DON'T FEEL SO BAD.

​

Hot cars and Cosmos and bright shiny sneakers,

Perfect acoustics and roofs that are leakers....

Carded at 40, of youth, you're a King!

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS..

​

Wielding the baton, he's really quite swanky,

sweating profusely, but alas, has no hankie!

His Valentine's birthday, such joy does it bring...

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS.

 

Convertible camaro, the color of toMAHto,

Ladies, can you sing that with much less viBRAHto?

Like Julie Andrews! Her voice it just rings,

THESE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS..

​

Is there AC?

Turn it lower!

Where're my PANTS, E gad!

I simply remember my favorite things

AND THEN WE DON'T FEEL......  SOOOOO BAD!
