Lyrics How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm

Reuben Reuben
I've been thinking said his wifey dear
Now that all is peaceful and calm
The boys will soon be back on the farm
Mister Reuben started winking and slowly rubbed his chin
He pulled his chair up close to mother and he asked her with a grin
How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree
How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway
Jazzin' around and paintin' the town
How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from harm that's a mystery
They'll never want to see a rake or plow
And who the deuce can parley vous a cow
How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree
Reuben Reuben you're mistaken said his wifey dear
Once a farmer always a jay and farmers always stick to the hay
Mother Reuben I'm not fakin' though you may think it strange
But wine and women play the mischief
With a boy who's loose with change
How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree
How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway
Jazzin' around and paintin' the town
How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from harm that's a mystery
Imagine Reuben when he meets his Pa
He'll kiss his cheek and holler ooh lah lah
How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen after they've seen
After they've seen Paree
