[00:20.200] La la la la
[00:22.600] La la la la
[00:25.000] Nowadays we often gaze
[00:27.300] On women over fifty
[00:29.600] Without the slightest trace
[00:31.950] Of wrinkles on their face
[00:34.500] Doctors go and take their dough
[00:37.000] To make them young and nifty
[00:39.400] But Doctors I defy
[00:41.700] To tell me just why
[00:43.700] No matter how young a prune may be
[00:46.400] It's always full of wrinkles
[00:49.050] We may get them on our face
[00:51.600] Prunes get 'em every place
[00:54.200] Prohibition worries us
[00:56.200] But prunes don't sit and brood
[00:58.650] For no matter how young a prune may be
[01:01.500] It's always getting stewed
[01:03.800]
[01:08.700] In the kingdom of the fruits
[01:11.200] The prune is snubbed by others
[01:13.600] And they are not allowed
[01:16.000] To mingle with the crowd
[01:18.700] Though they're never on display
[01:20.900] With all their highbrow brothers
[01:23.300] They never seem to mind
[01:25.800] To this fact they're resigned
[01:28.000] That no matter how young a prune may be
[01:30.800] It's always full of wrinkles
[01:33.400] Beauty treatments always fail
[01:35.800] They've tried all to no avail
[01:38.300] Other fruits are envious
[01:40.800] Because they know real well
[01:42.900] That no matter how young a prune may be
[01:45.500] Hot water makes 'em swell
[01:48.300]
[01:53.250] Baby prunes look like their dad
[01:55.700] But not wrinkled quite as bad
[01:58.300]
[02:07.800] Every day in every way
[02:10.200] The world is getting better
[02:12.500] We've even learned to fly
[02:14.950] As days go passing by
[02:17.500] But how about the poor old prune
[02:19.900] His life is only wetter
[02:22.300] No wonder he can't win
[02:24.700] In the awful stew he's in
[02:27.200] No matter how young a prune may be
[02:29.800] He's always full of wrinkles
[02:32.500] We may get them on our face
[02:35.200] Prunes get 'em every place
[02:37.500] Nothing ever worries them
[02:40.000] Their life's an open book
[02:42.200] But no matter how young a prune may be
[02:44.800] It has a worried look
[02:46.800]
[02:57.400] Prunes act very kind they say
[02:59.800] When sickly people moan
[03:02.200] But no matter how young a prune may be
[03:04.900] It has a heart of stone
[03:07.600]
