Lyrics:
Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking Said his wifey dear Now that all is peaceful and calm Soon our boys will be back on the farm Mister Reuben started winking And slowly rubbed his chin He pulled his chair up close to Mother Asked her with a grin How ya gonna keep 'em down? Oh no How ya gonna keep 'em down? Oh no, oh no How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway Jazzin' around and painting the town? How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm? That's the mystery They'll never want to see a rake or a plow And who the deuce can parlez vous a cow? And how ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm After they've seen Paris? 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 Oh, how ya gonna keep 'em down? Oh no, oh no Oh, how ya gonna keep 'em down? How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway Jazzin' around and painting the town? How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm? That's the mystery Imagine Reuben, when he meets his pa He'll pinch his cheek and holler, ooh la la How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm After they've seen Paris, Paris?
