156. HOW YA GONNA KEEP ‘EM
DOWN ON THE FARM?________1918
CHORUS
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?
REPEAT CHORUS
IMAGINE REUBEN WHEN HE MEETS HIS PA,
HE’LL KISS HIM ON THE CHEEK
AND HOLLER, “OOH- LA- LA-!”
HOW YA GONNA KEEP ‘EM
DOWN ON THE FARM
AFTER THEY’VE SEEN PAREE?
