How You Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm? Songtext
von Eddie Cantor

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 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′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 wanna 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'?
