How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'
How ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway
Jazzin around, paintin' the town
How ya gonna keep 'em away from harm, that's a mystery
Imagine Ruben when he meets his pa
He'll kiss her cheek and holler "ooh 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, 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 parle vous a cow?
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'
