The Prune Song -Frank Crumit /The Andrews Sisters |
[00:20.655] |
La-la-la-la |
[00:23.65] |
La-la-la-la |
[00:25.575] |
Nowadays we often gaze |
[00:27.735] |
On women over fifty |
[00:30.305] |
Without the slightest trace |
[00:32.505] |
Of wrinkles on their face |
[00:35.154] |
Doctors go and take their dough |
[00:37.394] |
To make them young and nifty |
[00:39.894] |
But Doctors I defy |
[00:41.962] |
To tell me just why |
[00:44.542] |
No matter how young a prune may be |
[00:47.231] |
It's always full of wrinkles |
[00:49.681] |
We may get them on our face |
[00:52.120] |
Prunes get 'em every place |
[00:54.610] |
Prohibition worries us |
[00:56.700] |
But prunes don't sit and brood |
[00:59.70] |
For no matter how young a prune may be |
[01:01.680] |
It's always getting stewed |
[01:09.230] |
In the kingdom of the fruits |
[01:11.819] |
The prune is snubbed by others |
[01:14.258] |
And they are not allowed |
[01:16.668] |
To mingle with the crowd |
[01:19.148] |
Though they're never on display |
[01:21.437] |
With all their highbrow brothers |
[01:24.07] |
They never seem to mind |
[01:26.206] |
To this fact they're resigned |
[01:28.616] |
That no matter how young a prune may be |
[01:31.476] |
It's always full of wrinkles |
[01:34.06] |
Beauty treatments always fail |
[01:36.446] |
They've tried all to no avail |
[01:39.25] |
Other fruits are envious |
[01:41.325] |
Because they know real well |
[01:43.534] |
That no matter how young a prune may be |
[01:46.14] |
Hot water makes 'em swell |
[01:53.783] |
Baby prunes look like their dad |
[01:56.43] |
But not wrinkled quite as bad |
[02:08.432] |
Every day in every way |
[02:10.752] |
The world is getting better |
[02:13.322] |
We've even learned to fly |
[02:15.471] |
As days go passing by |
[02:17.950] |
But how about the poor old prune |
[02:20.499] |
His life is only wetter |
[02:22.929] |
No wonder he can't win |
[02:25.439] |
In the awful stew he's in |
[02:27.819] |
No matter how young a prune may be |
[02:30.529] |
He's always full of wrinkles |
[02:33.119] |
We may get them on our face |
[02:35.679] |
Prunes get 'em every place |
[02:38.178] |
Nothing ever worries them |
[02:40.47] |
Their life's an open book |
[02:42.656] |
But no matter how young a prune may be |
[02:45.455] |
It has a worried look |
[02:58.112] |
Prunes act very kind they say |
[03:00.292] |
When sickly people moan |
[03:02.822] |
But no matter how young a prune may be |
[03:05.332] |
It has a heart of stone |
