《Song of the Prune》歌词

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

[00:00:21] La la la la

[00:00:23] La la la la

[00:00:26] Nowadays we often gaze

[00:00:28] On women over fifty

[00:00:31] Without the slightest trace

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:55] Prohibition worries us

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:36] Beauty treatments always fail

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

[00:01:41] Other fruits are envious

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:41] Nothing ever worries them

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

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

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

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

[00:03:04] When sickly people moan

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

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