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'

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 parleyvous a cow

How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm

After they've seen Paree'
