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.
