How Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm

In the style of

1920s Standards

Lyrics

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
