The Song Of The Prune - Frank Crumit[00:00:00]
La la la la[00:00:22]
La la la la[00:00:24]
Nowadays we often gaze[00:00:27]
On women over fifty[00:00:29]
Without the slightest trace[00:00:32]
Of wrinkles on their face[00:00:34]
Doctor's go and take their dough[00:00:37]
To make them young and nifty[00:00:39]
But Doctor's I defy[00:00:41]
To tell me just why[00:00:44]
No matter how young a prune may be[00:00:46]
It's always full of wrinkles[00:00:49]
We may get them on our face[00:00:51]
Prunes get them every place[00:00:54]
Prohibition worries us[00:00:56]
But prunes don't sit and brood[00:00:58]
For no matter how young a prune may be[00:01:01]
It's always getting stewed[00:01:04]
In the kingdom of the fruits[00:01:11]
The prune is snubbed by others[00:01:14]
And they are not allowed[00:01:16]
To mingle with the crowd[00:01:19]
Though they're never on display[00:01:21]
With all their highbrow brothers[00:01:24]
They never seem to mind[00:01:26]
To this fact they're resigned[00:01:29]
That no matter how young a prune may be[00:01:31]
It's always full of wrinkles[00:01:34]
Beauty treatments always fail[00:01:37]
They've tried all to no avail[00:01:39]
Other fruits are envious[00:01:42]
Because they know real well[00:01:44]
That no matter how young a prune may be[00:01:46]
Hot water makes them swell[00:01:49]
Baby prunes look like their dad[00:01:57]
But not wrinkled quite as bad[00:01:59]
Every day in every way[00:02:12]
The world is getting better[00:02:14]
We've even learned to fly[00:02:17]
As days go passing by[00:02:19]
But how about the poor old prune[00:02:22]
His life is only wetter[00:02:24]
No wonder he can't win[00:02:27]
In the awful stew he's in[00:02:29]
No matter how young a prune may be[00:02:32]
He's always full of wrinkles[00:02:34]
We may get them on our face[00:02:37]
Prunes get them every place[00:02:39]
Nothing ever worries them[00:02:42]
Their life's an open book[00:02:44]
But no matter how young a prune may be[00:02:47]
It has a worried look[00:02:50]
Prunes act very kind they say[00:03:02]
When sickly people moan[00:03:05]
But no matter how young a prune may be[00:03:07]
It has a heart of stone[00:03:10]
