Song of the Prune - Frank Crumit/Celeste Holm[00:00:00]

La la la la[00:00:21]

La la la la[00:00:23]

Nowadays we often gaze[00:00:26]

On women over fifty[00:00:28]

Without the slightest trace[00:00:31]

Of wrinkles on their face[00:00:33]

Doctor's go and take their dough[00:00:36]

To make them young and nifty[00:00:38]

But Doctor's I defy[00:00:40]

To tell me just why[00:00:43]

No matter how young a prune may be[00:00:45]

It's always full of wrinkles[00:00:48]

We may get them on our face[00:00:50]

Prunes get them every place[00:00:53]

Prohibition worries us[00:00:55]

But prunes don't sit and brood[00:00:58]

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

It's always getting stewed[00:01:03]

In the kingdom of the fruits[00:01:10]

The prune is snubbed by others[00:01:13]

And they are not allowed[00:01:15]

To mingle with the crowd[00:01:18]

Though they're never on display[00:01:20]

With all their highbrow brothers[00:01:23]

They never seem to mind[00:01:26]

To this fact they're resigned[00:01:28]

That no matter how young a prune may be[00:01:30]

It's always full of wrinkles[00:01:33]

Beauty treatments always fail[00:01:36]

They've tried all to no avail[00:01:38]

Other fruits are envious[00:01:41]

Because they know real well[00:01:43]

That no matter how young a prune may be[00:01:46]

Hot water makes them swell[00:01:48]

Baby prunes look like their dad[00:01:56]

But not wrinkled quite as bad[00:01:58]

Every day in every way[00:02:11]

The world is getting better[00:02:13]

We've even learned to fly[00:02:16]

As days go passing by[00:02:18]

But how about the poor old prune[00:02:21]

His life is only wetter[00:02:23]

No wonder he can't win[00:02:26]

In the awful stew he's in[00:02:28]

No matter how young a prune may be[00:02:31]

He's always full of wrinkles[00:02:33]

We may get them on our face[00:02:36]

Prunes get them every place[00:02:39]

Nothing ever worries them[00:02:41]

Their life's an open book[00:02:43]

But no matter how young a prune may be[00:02:46]

It has a worried look[00:02:49]

Prunes act very kind they say[00:03:02]

When sickly people moan[00:03:04]

But no matter how young a prune may be[00:03:06]

It has a heart of stone[00:03:09]
