Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

How 'ya gonna keep 'em, down on the farm,

After they've seen

Paree? How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway;

Jazzin' a'roun', 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? How 'ya gonna keep 'em,

down on the farm,

After they've seen

Paree? How 'ya gonna keep 'em away from Broadway;

Jazzin' a'roun', 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 "oolala!"

How 'ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm,

After they've seen

Paree? ree?
