Lyrics
Refrain
Prudence showed her prudence at a very early age
For the teacher came and slapped her where she sat
But her underware was lined
With the book they couldn’t find
She concealed a lot of prudence under that
Refrain
Prudence wasn’t prudent in a prudish sort of way
And her evening dresses knocked the Johnnies flat
For her bodice wasn’t low
But she knew enough to show
Just a little bit of prudence over that
Refrain
Prudence wasn’t prudent in a prudish sort of way
So, when he suggested supper at her flat
Did she take offence? Oh, no!
But she took her brother Joe
So, she showed a lot of prudence over that
