13 Jan 99 - 11:31 PM (#53962) Subject: Lyr Add: SONG OF THE PRUNE (Crumit/DeCosta) From: Frank Maher Frank Crumit made two versions of "The Song of the Prune", written by Crumit/daCosta 4/5/28: The first one in 1928 and the second one in 1934 with a couple of different verses. This is the 1934 version's different words: No matter how young a prune may be, he's always full of wrinkles, Now we may get 'em here and there, but prunies get 'em everywhere, Babies fret until they hear a mother's lullaby, But no matter how young a prune may be, you'll never hear it cry. No matter how young a prune may be, he's always full of wrinkles, Old maids get 'em on their face; prunes get 'em everyplace, Peaches and bananas have that skin you love to touch. But no matter how young a prune may be, it don't amount to much.
