《The Song Of The Prune》歌词

[00:00:00] The Song Of The Prune - Frank Crumit

[00:00:22] La la la la

[00:00:24] La la la la

[00:00:27] Nowadays we often gaze

[00:00:29] On women over fifty

[00:00:32] Without the slightest trace

[00:00:34] Of wrinkles on their face

[00:00:37] Doctor's go and take their dough

[00:00:39] To make them young and nifty

[00:00:41] But Doctor's I defy

[00:00:44] To tell me just why

[00:00:46] No matter how young a prune may be

[00:00:49] It's always full of wrinkles

[00:00:51] We may get them on our face

[00:00:54] Prunes get them every place

[00:00:56] Prohibition worries us

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

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

[00:01:04] It's always getting stewed

[00:01:11] In the kingdom of the fruits

[00:01:14] The prune is snubbed by others

[00:01:16] And they are not allowed

[00:01:19] To mingle with the crowd

[00:01:21] Though they're never on display

[00:01:24] With all their highbrow brothers

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

[00:01:29] To this fact they're resigned

[00:01:31] That no matter how young a prune may be

[00:01:34] It's always full of wrinkles

[00:01:37] Beauty treatments always fail

[00:01:39] They've tried all to no avail

[00:01:42] Other fruits are envious

[00:01:44] Because they know real well

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

[00:01:49] Hot water makes them swell

[00:01:57] Baby prunes look like their dad

[00:01:59] But not wrinkled quite as bad

[00:02:12] Every day in every way

[00:02:14] The world is getting better

[00:02:17] We've even learned to fly

[00:02:19] As days go passing by

[00:02:22] But how about the poor old prune

[00:02:24] His life is only wetter

[00:02:27] No wonder he can't win

[00:02:29] In the awful stew he's in

[00:02:32] No matter how young a prune may be

[00:02:34] He's always full of wrinkles

[00:02:37] We may get them on our face

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

[00:02:42] Nothing ever worries them

[00:02:44] Their life's an open book

[00:02:47] But no matter how young a prune may be

[00:02:50] It has a worried look

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

[00:03:05] When sickly people moan

[00:03:07] But no matter how young a prune may be

[00:03:10] It has a heart of stone
