Poor Prune (1917)

From “Leave It To Jane”, 1917
Words by P. G. Wodehouse
Music by Jerome Kern
Lyrics
1. Mamah often used to tell me how imprudent
It is for girls to let their fancies roam
And go out walking evenings with a student
Instead of washing dishes safe at home
But I never thought my Percy would deceive me
He seemed as good and faithful as a lamb
And now dog-gone it! If he doesn’t leave me
The double faced horn-swoggling little clam
Refrain
I will always love you dearie
Morning, night and afternoon
And my heart will be so weary
If we don’t get married soon
Oh, I fell for all that old time junk
Them nights beneath the moon
Poor prune!
2. Now I can’t enjoy my meals, my heart is broken
I don’t know when I’ve felt so awful wild
Ah, since those crool remarks of his was spoken
I’ve turned into a woman from a child
It gets my goat for fair when I remember
Them walks we used to take at close of day
And how it used to fan Love’s burning ember
When he to me these tender woids would say
Refrain
I will always love you dearie
With a live that nought can kill
And my heart will ne’er grow weary
Nor my passion get a chill
Yes, I fell for all the hot air stuff
That Percy used to spill
Poor pill!
