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
Imagine Reuben when he meets his pa
He’ll kiss his cheek and holler “OO-LA-LA!”
How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm
After they’ve seen Paree’?
Tell me mother
How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm
After they’ve seen Paree’
And how ya gonna keep ’em away from records
Jazzin around and paintin’ the town, woo!
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 parlez vous a cow?
How ya gonna keep ’em down on the farm
After they’ve seen Paree’
