How 'Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm (After They've Seen Paree)

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'?

Rueben, Rueben, 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
Tho 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 "OO-LA-LA!
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm After they've seen Paree'?
