《The Prune Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Prune Song - Frank Crumit/Sidney Black and 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] Doctors go and take their dough

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

[00:00:39] But Doctors I defy

[00:00:41] 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 'em 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 'em swell

[00:01:53] Baby prunes look like their dad

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

[00:02:08] Every day in every way

[00:02:10] The world is getting better

[00:02:13] We've even learned to fly

[00:02:15] As days go passing by

[00:02:17] But how about the poor old prune

[00:02:20] His life is only wetter

[00:02:22] No wonder he can't win

[00:02:25] In the awful stew he's in

[00:02:27] No matter how young a prune may be

[00:02:30] He's always full of wrinkles

[00:02:33] We may get them on our face

[00:02:35] Prunes get 'em every place

[00:02:38] Nothing ever worries them

[00:02:40] Their life's an open book

[00:02:42] But no matter how young a prune may be

[00:02:45] It has a worried look

[00:02:58] Prunes act very kind they say

[00:03:00] When sickly people moan

[00:03:02] But no matter how young a prune may be

[00:03:05] It has a heart of stone
