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?
