《The Song of the Prune》歌词

[00:00:00] Song of the Prune - Frank Crumit/Max Abrams/Ambrose & His Orchestra

[00:00:20] La la la la

[00:00:23] La la la la

[00:00:25] Nowadays we often gaze

[00:00:27] On women over fifty

[00:00:30] Without the slightest trace

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

[00:00:35] Doctor's go and take their dough

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

[00:00:39] But Doctor's I defy

[00:00:42] To tell me just why

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

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

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

[00:00:52] Prunes get them every place

[00:00:54] Prohibition worries us

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

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

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

[00:01:09] 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

[00:01:28] 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

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

[00:01:39] 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

[00:01:54] Baby prunes look like their dad

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

[00:02:09] 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

[00:02:59] Prunes act very kind they say

[00:03:01] When sickly people moan

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

[00:03:06] It has a heart of stone
