Yankovic, Weird Al - Mr. Frump In The Iron Lung Lyrics






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
And now I bring to you the very last thing
That Mr. Frump had to say....

[deep breathing, that fades and dies off]

Amen

  1. i.... y....

    Dr demento show played this,1983, Kansas City ky-102 fm

  6. B.... S....

    using the release button on the accordion as the iron lung is a pretty good gag

  7. i.... ....

    Silvagunner

  8. M.... S....

    I wonder if Mr. Frump ever frequented Alice's Restaurant... 🤔

  9. T.... C....

    Mr. Frump is in his closet! I can imagine how strong the smell of decay is getting with that mosquito flying out of the closet looking sick lol

  10. S.... ....

    This song used to terrify me. Like, nightmares of that breathing sound. Aaaaand still does bye

  11. N.... B....

    Had this album when i was a kid!

  12. B.... ....

    I once got the original LP of this album, sometime in the early 2000's off Ebay. I never got all through side 2 and to this song, because both sides had permanent skips in other songs. So, I just re-bought a canadian 1983 press (Epic Records label), and I was listening to it earlier today, got to this song and almost freaked out when hearing those sound effects - like I said, I never heard the song before today, it was both weird and funny.

  13. M.... S....

    Poor Mr. Frump... 🙁

  14. -.... B....

    *SPOILER ALERT*

    I don't know what Mr. Frump is saying after the first and second verses. But, at 1:42, he's saying "GET OFF MY OXYGEN TUBE!!!"

    PS. I just saw a live version of this, and read that he made the iron lung sound with his accordion.

    -.... B....

    - Buehmann but iron lungs don’t have oxygen tubes.

  15. K.... _....

    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

    Sit down by his side and say "Hi"
    And then I ask him his opinion of the world situation

  16. P.... G....

    The tune of this song seems to be based on the chorus of "Alice's Restaurant".

  39. K.... ....

    One of my favorite Weird Al originals XD

    K.... ....

    KentuckyWallChicken It's a parody of Alice's Restaurant

    K.... ....

    both of you, it's a style parody. It is an original song, but its melody takes its cue from Alice's Restaurant. So you're both right.

  40. L.... A....

    Fsbnjumuyr - This is the entire song.

  41. M.... B....

    I can't believe how many people came here because of Game Grumps.  What a great community!!  I love the grumps

  42. J.... ....

    The Grumps brought me here.

  43. n.... ....

    not to sound more hipster, but i got this tape from my sister for christmas when I was in the third grade. I was born in 78, do the math. And im so super cereal hipster i dont know who "danny" or what "gamegrumps" is

    n.... ....

    What the hell are you talking about

  44. M.... ....

    I found this song on TV Tropes :)

    M.... ....

    In what section did you find it?

    M.... ....

    On the Black Comedy page under Music :)

    M.... ....

    So did I

  45. P.... R....

    Why wasn't there a video made to this song? Would have been interesting to see. I'm not talking fan made as I have seen lots of those. I mean one made by "Weird Al" himself. One should have been made! Seriously!

  46. A.... H....

    Alice's Restaurant?

    A.... H....

    That's what I was thinking, but no. It's original

  47. Z.... ....

    Am I the only one who came here not out of nestalgia or game grumps? Actually, what episode was this even featured on in gamegrumps?

    Z.... ....

    Part 2 of DecapAttack

  48. F.... M....

    I used to sing this at the lunch table in elementary school.

  49. J.... R....

    I love it. 

  50. s.... ....

    yknow, i don't understand all the hate towards people who found out about this song through game grumps, people didn't know about the song and now they know, which means it's promoting Wierd Al... isn't that a good thing? why the does it matter whether you heard it first, are you expecting a medal or something? seriously some people need to get over themselves.

    s.... ....

    You know, I come here cuz I'm a fan of Weird Al. I have no idea what the fuck Game Grumps is, but I was pissed to know that this is one of these videos that "OMG LIKE IF YOU CAME FROM X". The comments are flooded with this shit.

  51. A.... ....

    I've loved the Grumps since before they even began, but, this fanbase is slowly becoming like PewDiePie's. Nobody fucking cares where you heard the song.

  52. L.... ....

    I got here from a video where al himself played this. How about that, grumpfags?

    L.... ....

    @***** Yes!

    L.... ....

    Does it really matter how someone discovers a song?

  53. f.... ....

    Grep gramps

  54. B.... 7....

  59. T.... ....

    holy shit, al. i never knew you had a dark side. nevertheless, this song was hilarious. 

    T.... ....

    Check out "Good Old Days."  Al can get pretty dark.

    T.... ....

    +Pasitos Wells Yes he can! Reason why i love Wierd Al, and his dark side is funny at least to me lol

    T.... ....

    I'm also a fan of Nature Trail to Hell

    Not to sound all hipster and crap, but I liked this song before Danny mentioned it on GameGrumps.

    D.... ....

    @Dakota Edwards Oh, OK thanks.  

    D.... ....

    People have been listening to Weird Al since the fucking 80s.

    D.... ....

    I don't even remember him mentioning it.

    D.... ....

  69. K.... ....

    ...This was actually kinda depressing.

  70. C.... V....

  79. A.... Y....

    "In my final hours, I would like to play a video game..."
    "Well, the only thing we have here in this place is called DecapAttack."
    "Whatever, any game will do, I just want to remember what's it's like to play video games..."

    *turns it on*

    "Pull the plug please."

    A.... Y....

    Guest Grumps: Weird Al
















    PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN GRUMPS!!

    A.... Y....

    @Echo Well now I feel less useful to the Grump Bump movement. When I don't want to post a generic comment I like all the other lovelies' comments. 

    A.... Y....

    @pogmothonable But the GameGrumps are funny....Do you not like funny?

    A.... Y....

    Wait, what's wrong with DecapAttack? It's a Genesis classic

  80. W.... ....

    Casey Decker... you got GrumpBump'd :3

  81. S.... ....

    Thank you Danny.

  82. P.... ....

    Mycaruba.

  83. N.... F....

    This is how to do shock comedy. It also helps that it came at a time when not everyone was doing it, therefore making their stuff no longer shocking.

  84. M.... F....

    I love it! Alfred is brilliant

  85. R.... S....

    Morbid as hell. So awesome.

    R.... S....

    this is actually tame compared to "christmas at ground zero."
    ie christmas just before we all die from nuclear war.

  86. k.... D....

    Song still scares the hell outta me always has probly always will

    k.... D....

    The sound after the third verse kind of scared me when I first heard it. It doesn't scare me anymore.

  87. W.... C....

    Christmas at ground zero soon...

  88. K.... K....

    Well one of the jokes in this song is that he takes the noises made by the iron lung apparatus as statements from Mr Frump. Also there is a bit about him never disagreeing with the narrator, and that's because he can't talk or respond to him in any way!

  89. F.... ....

    that's the point. There is no "joke" in the song. It's...somewhat of a serious song.

  90. C.... ....

    He played this in the latest face to face episode with william h macy

  91. Z.... ....

    Sounds kinda like he died trying to rap

  92. M.... P....

    This cd should have been named Weird Al: The Hoarders Album!

  93. n.... ....

    most depressing weird al song

  94. c.... ....

    This song creeps me the hell out.

  95. y.... ....

    It was... beautiful?

  96. N.... ....

    @AcidReflux27 EPIC!
