Now-a-days we often gaze on women over fifty,Without the slightest trace, of wrinkles on their face.Doctors go and take their dough to make them young and nifty,But doctors I defy, To tell me just why;No matter how young a prune may be it's always full of wrinkles,We may get them on our face, Prunes get them every place.Prohibition worries us but prunes don't sit and brood,No matter how young a prune may be it's always getting stewed.In the "kingdom of the fruits" the prune is snubbed by others,And they are not allowed, To mingle with the crowd.Tho' they're never on display with all their "Highbrow" brothers,They never seem to mind, To this fact they're resigned;That no matter how young a prune may be its always full of wrinklesBeauty treatments always fail, they’ve tried all to no avail.Other fruits are envious because they know real well,That no matter how young a prune may be, hot water makes them swell.Baby prunes look like their dad but not wrinkled quite as bad.Every day n’ every way the world is getting better,We’ve even learned to fly as days go passing bye.But what about the poor old prune his life is only wetter,No wonder he can’t grin in the awful stew he’s in,That no matter how young a prune may be, it’s always full of wrinklesWe may get them on our face, prunes get em everyplaceNothing ever worries them, there life’s an open book,But no matter how young a prune may be, he has a worried look.Prunes act very kind they say when prickly people moan,But no matter how young a prune may be has a heart of stone!
