This version was contributed by Phillip Sprague of San Francisco, Calif., who knew it as a youth in Seattle, Wash., about 1930. The exact chorus was known on the U.C.L.A. campus around 1953-56 by Nancy Evans and Donna Schill. FRUNCTION JUNCTION Are you from Frunction, from Frunction Junction, Where the Function Junction suction cups are made? Are you from Fruction Junction, I say from Frunction? Well, I'm from Frunction too! Chorus: Don't cry lady, I'll buy your god-damned flowers, Don't cry lady, I'll buy your pencils too, Don't cry lady, Take off those big dark glasses, Hello, mother, I knew it was you. c.1953. Devilcat Songs. Songbook of the Marine Air Squadron VMF-212 "Devilcats," aboard aircraft carrier "Rendova Bay". Edited by Nancy Evans, UCLA, 1960.
