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
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

Yankovic, Weird Al Mr. Frump In The Iron Lung Comments
sonicmario presents? get fucked
Dr demento show played this,1983, Kansas City ky-102 fm
This is probably the darkest, least amusing work he ever committed to vinyl.
earthbound?
2019???????
using the release button on the accordion as the iron lung is a pretty good gag
Silvagunner
I wonder if Mr. Frump ever frequented Alice's Restaurant... 🤔
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
This song used to terrify me. Like, nightmares of that breathing sound. Aaaaand still does bye
Had this album when i was a kid!
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.
Poor Mr. Frump... 🙁
*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.
- Buehmann but iron lungs don’t have oxygen tubes.
I visit Mr. Frump in the hospital

The tune of this song seems to be based on the chorus of "Alice's Restaurant".
Patient Grasshopper *Weird Alice's Restaurant.
Roasted supreme lmao!!! JackAss Too.oh
Mr Frump is Bartholomaus Frump, right? Weird Al made the Frump song as a tribute to him!
Whos that
Slapstick Genius Never heard of him.
I am IRON, maaan! ~ Ozzy Osborns metabolism
He did this when I went to see him live. Me and my mother were cracking up laughing.
Shout out if you are here after Jimmy Fallon mentioned this song :)
Thanks Jimmy Fallon for reminding me about this song lol
Sheet music?
Did the chord sequence remind anybody of Alice's Restaurant?
6th grade 198o
tuck Mr. Frump
If only Mr Trump were as eloquent as Mr Frump...
"Frump sat alone in a bench on the park..."
#Daniscod
I remember hearing this on cassette when I was a kid lol always thought it was such a weird song
I had this on cassette and CD. I used to speed up my cassette and make this song play fast lol
[Biggest letters]"sonicmario presents...." as though you had anything to do with this... asshat.
What did I just listened to?
Me encanta esta canción, ya me esta gustando la música con acordeón gracias a Al.
VOTE FRUMP MAKE AMERICA BREATH AGAIN
mother of god this is dark
This is brilliant
lik if u cri everi tim
#weirdalforpresident
+crazy tech gamer Frump will stump the Trump.
One of my favorite Weird Al originals XD
KentuckyWallChicken It's a parody of Alice's Restaurant
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.
Fsbnjumuyr - This is the entire song.
I can't believe how many people came here because of Game Grumps. What a great community!! I love the grumps
The Grumps brought me here.
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
What the hell are you talking about
I found this song on TV Tropes :)
In what section did you find it?
On the Black Comedy page under Music :)
So did I
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!
Alice's Restaurant?
That's what I was thinking, but no. It's original
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?
Part 2 of DecapAttack
I used to sing this at the lunch table in elementary school.
I love it.
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.
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.
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.
I got here from a video where al himself played this. How about that, grumpfags?
@***** Yes!
Does it really matter how someone discovers a song?
Grep gramps
I was sent by Game Grumps and I haven't stopped laughing oh my goodness
GameGrumps
Grumprusalem
Go Go Grump Bump.
Holy fuck. I just lost my shit so much. Weird Al, you're amazing.
holy shit, al. i never knew you had a dark side. nevertheless, this song was hilarious.
Check out "Good Old Days." Al can get pretty dark.
+Pasitos Wells Yes he can! Reason why i love Wierd Al, and his dark side is funny at least to me lol
I'm also a fan of Nature Trail to Hell
This is hysterical. Absolutely dying of laughter! Thanks Danny!
Hey I'm Frump
I'm not so Frump
HHHHHHHHHH HHHHH HHHHHHHHH HHHHH
Omfg cx
You didn't die after all??
After 5 years this still made me lose my shit.
lol normaly when the grumps recomend vids there like 3 months old but they just talked about it so its flooding lol XD
this is horrible! and i love it XD
Mr. Frump was a true prophet may we live by his wise and sacred words
"Hhhhh hhhhh hhhhh hhhh"
-Mr. Frump
I thought to myself as i clicked on this search result, I wonder how many people watched Game Grumps today..
What was the episode called? Just curious.
HELL YEAH
@polygone two Damn straight
Sorry I never replied!
I'm actually playing Dark Cloud right now. It's a fantastic game
It is a fantastic game. :D
Screw you Colbert! Game Grump Bump!
Got this song stuck in my head thanks to the Game Grumps. Representin' Danny Sexbang!
Not to sound all hipster and crap, but I liked this song before Danny mentioned it on GameGrumps.
@Dakota Edwards Oh, OK thanks.
People have been listening to Weird Al since the fucking 80s.
I don't even remember him mentioning it.
Which episode?
...This was actually kinda depressing.
Thank you Danny :3
God dammit Danny.
FrumpGrumpBump
Grump bumped
game grump brought me here XD
LEL DAE GRUMPARMY???
Thanks for re-showing me this Daniel Sexbang, completely forgot about this one...
:D
DAMN YOU GAME GRUMPS, why did you make come here?
Grumps brought me here
"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."
yeah no one really cares about the likes anymore...lol
Guest Grumps: Weird Al
PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN GRUMPS!!
@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.
@pogmothonable But the GameGrumps are funny....Do you not like funny?
Wait, what's wrong with DecapAttack? It's a Genesis classic
Casey Decker... you got GrumpBump'd :3
Thank you Danny.
Mycaruba.
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.
I love it! Alfred is brilliant
Morbid as hell. So awesome.
this is actually tame compared to "christmas at ground zero."
ie christmas just before we all die from nuclear war.
Song still scares the hell outta me always has probly always will
The sound after the third verse kind of scared me when I first heard it. It doesn't scare me anymore.
Christmas at ground zero soon...
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!
that's the point. There is no "joke" in the song. It's...somewhat of a serious song.
He played this in the latest face to face episode with william h macy
Sounds kinda like he died trying to rap
This cd should have been named Weird Al: The Hoarders Album!
most depressing weird al song
This song creeps me the hell out.
It was... beautiful?
@AcidReflux27 EPIC!
