Prisoner's Song [1930] Screen Song Cartoon 

The poem "Down in Dear Sing Sing" which is recited beginning around 2m59s is by E.Y. "Yip" Harburg, who contributed material to Fleischer cartoons as well as live action features and featurettes at Paramount's Astoria Studios from 1929-1931. He later became well known for the lyric to "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" "April in Paris," "It's Only a Paper Moon" and all of the lyrics in THE WIZARD OF OZ.

So instead of a bouncing ball, we have a bouncing teardrop.💧

Beautiful ❤

Just Follow the Bouncing Tear and Sing that old familiar song, "Prisoner's Song".

MY FATHER USED TO HUM AND SING THIS WHEN I WAS A YOUNG LAD.

2:59 That was the longest time the Bouncing ball kept bouncing!

This is way better than the cartoons today.

Follow the bouncing teardrop 2:59

The main character was the same guy on Bedilia right?

How Prideful, Really isn't This?
