[Chorus]
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'?
How ya gonna keep 'em away [?]
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'?

[Chorus]
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'?
How ya gonna keep 'em away [?]
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 “Ooh-la-la!”
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they'vе seen Paree'?

[Chorus]
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After thеy've seen Paree'?
How ya gonna keep 'em away [?]
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'?
After they've seen Paree'?
[Applause]
