Song of the Prune - Frank Crumit/Max Abrams/Ambrose & 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]
Doctor's go and take their dough[00:00:35]
To make them young and nifty[00:00:37]
But Doctor's I defy[00:00:39]
To tell me just why[00:00:42]
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 them 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 them swell[00:01:46]
Baby prunes look like their dad[00:01:54]
But not wrinkled quite as bad[00:01:56]
Every day in every way[00:02:09]
The world is getting better[00:02:11]
We've even learned to fly[00:02:13]
As days go passing by[00:02:16]
But how about the poor old prune[00:02:18]
His life is only wetter[00:02:21]
No wonder he can't win[00:02:23]
In the awful stew he's in[00:02:26]
No matter how young a prune may be[00:02:28]
He's always full of wrinkles[00:02:31]
We may get them on our face[00:02:33]
Prunes get them every place[00:02:36]
Nothing ever worries them[00:02:39]
Their life's an open book[00:02:41]
But no matter how young a prune may be[00:02:43]
It has a worried look[00:02:46]
Prunes act very kind they say[00:02:59]
When sickly people moan[00:03:01]
But no matter how young a prune may be[00:03:03]
It has a heart of stone[00:03:06]
