The Prune Song - Frank Crumit/Sidney Black and His Orchestra[00:00:00]

La-la-la-la[00:00:20]

La-la-la-la[00:00:23]

Nowadays we often gaze[00:00:25]

On women over fifty[00:00:27]

Without the slightest trace[00:00:30]

Of wrinkles on their face[00:00:32]

Doctors go and take their dough[00:00:35]

To make them young and nifty[00:00:37]

But Doctors I defy[00:00:39]

To tell me just why[00:00:41]

No matter how young a prune may be[00:00:44]

It's always full of wrinkles[00:00:47]

We may get them on our face[00:00:49]

Prunes get 'em every place[00:00:52]

Prohibition worries us[00:00:54]

But prunes don't sit and brood[00:00:56]

For no matter how young a prune may be[00:00:59]

It's always getting stewed[00:01:01]

In the kingdom of the fruits[00:01:09]

The prune is snubbed by others[00:01:11]

And they are not allowed[00:01:14]

To mingle with the crowd[00:01:16]

Though they're never on display[00:01:19]

With all their highbrow brothers[00:01:21]

They never seem to mind[00:01:24]

To this fact they're resigned[00:01:26]

That no matter how young a prune may be[00:01:28]

It's always full of wrinkles[00:01:31]

Beauty treatments always fail[00:01:34]

They've tried all to no avail[00:01:36]

Other fruits are envious[00:01:39]

Because they know real well[00:01:41]

That no matter how young a prune may be[00:01:43]

Hot water makes 'em swell[00:01:46]

Baby prunes look like their dad[00:01:53]

But not wrinkled quite as bad[00:01:56]

Every day in every way[00:02:08]

The world is getting better[00:02:10]

We've even learned to fly[00:02:13]

As days go passing by[00:02:15]

But how about the poor old prune[00:02:17]

His life is only wetter[00:02:20]

No wonder he can't win[00:02:22]

In the awful stew he's in[00:02:25]

No matter how young a prune may be[00:02:27]

He's always full of wrinkles[00:02:30]

We may get them on our face[00:02:33]

Prunes get 'em every place[00:02:35]

Nothing ever worries them[00:02:38]

Their life's an open book[00:02:40]

But no matter how young a prune may be[00:02:42]

It has a worried look[00:02:45]

Prunes act very kind they say[00:02:58]

When sickly people moan[00:03:00]

But no matter how young a prune may be[00:03:02]

It has a heart of stone[00:03:05]
