A darkly humorous vaudeville style number about a man who’s best friend is a guy in an iron lung. Al uses the air valve on his accordion to make the iron lung sound heard throughout the song.
I visit Mr. Frump in the hospital
I see him most every day
And when I see Mr. Frump in his iron lung
This is what I hear him say
[deep breathing]
Y'know, Mr. Frump is my very best friend
He's never a chump or a tease
He never tells me lies, and best of all
He never disagrees
I bring him candy and flowers every afternoon
Sit down by his side and say "Hi"
And then I ask him his opinion of the world situation
And I wait for Mr. Frump's reply, and Mr. Frump would say
[deep breathing]
Well, unfortunately, soon it came to be
Mr. Frump's dying day
So now I bring to you the very last thing
That Mr. Frump had to say....
[deep breathing, that fades and dies off]
Amen
