Lyrics	"REUBEN, REUBEN, I'VE BEEN THINKING," SAID HIS WIFEY DEAR, "NOW THAT ALL IS PEACEFUL AND CALM, "THE BOYS WILL SOON BE BACK ON THE FARM." MISTER REUBEN STARTED WINKING AND SLOWLY RUBBED HIS CHIN. HE PULLED HIS CHAIR UP CLOSE TO MOTHER AND HE ASKED HER WITH A GRIN: "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? HOW YA GONNA KEEP 'EM DOWN ON THE FARM AFTER THEY'VE SEEN PAREE'?" "RUEBEN, RUEBEN, YOU'RE MISTAKEN," SAID HIS WIFEY DEAR, "ONCE A FARMER, ALWAYS A JAY AND FARMERS ALWAYS STICK TO THE HAY.". "MOTHER REUBEN, I'M NOT FAKIN', THO YOU MAY THINK IT STRANGE, BUT WINE AND WOMEN PLAY THE MISCHIEF WITH A BOY WHO'S LOOSE WITH CHANGE. "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? HOW YA GONNA KEEP 'EM DOWN ON THE FARM AFTER THEY'VE SEEN PAREE'?"

Lyrics	WHEN I WAS A BOY MY OTHER OFTEN SAID TO ME, “GET MARRIED BOY AND SEE HOW HAPPY YOU WILL BE.” I HAVE LOOKED ALL OVER, BUT NO GIRLIE I CAN FIND, WHO SEEMS TO BE JUST LIKE THE LITTLE GIRL I HAVE IN MIND, I WILL HAVE TO LOOK AROUND UNTIL THE RIGHT ONE I HAVE FOUND. I WANT A GIRL, JUST LIKE THE GIRL THAT MARRIED DEAR OLD DAD. SHE WAS A PEARL AND THE ONLY GIRL THAT DADDY EVER HAD, A GOOD OLD FASHIONED GIRL WITH HEART SO TRUE, ONE WHO LOVES NOBODY ELSE BUT YOU, I WANT A GIRL, JUST LIKE THE GIRL THAT MARRIED DEAR OLD DAD. BY THE OLD MILL STREAM THERE SIT A COUPLE OLD AND GRAY, THOUGH YEARS HAVE ROLLED AWAY, THEIR HEARTS ARE YOUNG TODAY. MOTHER DEAR LOOKS UP AT DAD WITH LOVE LIGHT IN HER EYE. HE STEALS A KISS, A FOND EMBRACE, WHILE EV'NING BREEZES SIGH, THEY'RE AS HAPPY AS CAN BE, SO THAT'S THE KIND OF LOVE FOR ME. I WANT A GIRL, JUST LIKE THE GIRL THAT MARRIED DEAR OLD DAD. SHE WAS A PEARL AND THE ONLY GIRL THAT DADDY EVER HAD, A GOOD OLD FASHIONED GIRL WITH HEART SO TRUE, ONE WHO LOVES NOBODY ELSE BUT YOU, I WANT A GIRL, JUST LIKE THE GIRL THAT MARRIED DEAR OLD DAD.

Lyrics	YOU CAN TALK ABOUT YOUR LOVE AFFAIRS, HERE'S ONE I MUST TELL TO YOU. ALL NIGHT LONG THEY SIT UPON THE STAIRS, HE HOLDS HER CLOSE AND STARTS TO COO: MY LITTLE MARGIE, I'M ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU, MARGIE. I'LL TELL THE WORLD I LOVE YOU, DON'T FORGET YOUR PROMISE TO ME. I HAVE BOUGHT A HOME AND RING AND EV'RY THING, FOR MARGIE, YOU'VE BEEN MY INSPIRATION. DAYS ARE NEVER BLUE AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE, OH! MARGIE, MARGIE, IT'S YOU. YOU CAN PICTURE ME MOST EV'RY NIGHT, I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY START. EV'RY THING HE SAYS JUST SEEMS ALL RIGHT, I WANT TO LEARN THAT STUFF BY HEART. MY LITTLE MARGIE, I'M ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU, MARGIE. I'LL TELL THE WORLD I LOVE YOU, DON'T FORGET YOUR PROMISE TO ME. I HAVE BOUGHT A HOME AND RING AND EV'RY THING, FOR MARGIE, YOU'VE BEEN MY INSPIRATION. DAYS ARE NEVER BLUE AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE, OH! MARGIE, MARGIE, IT'S YOU.
