Lyrics
La-la-la la la lah
La la la-la-la-a-a-a-a ...
(Chunka Chunka Chunka ...)
La la-la-la la-la ...
My darling
You mean so very much to me
I love you so deeply!
It just makes me ...
La la-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a ...
(Duke ... Duke ... Duke ... Duke of Prunes ... Prunes)
I hardly recognize you, darling
Oh, I'll never forget you, darling ...

Oh I suppose I will forget you eventually
In fact, I've already forgotten you.
(Duke of Prunes ... Prunes ... Prunes)
What is your name? Nice to see you again.
