REUBEN AND RACHEL
Reuben, Reuben I've been thinking
What a fine
world this would be
If the men were all transported
Far beyond the
northern sea
Oh, my goodness, gracious Rachel
What a strange
world this would be
If the men were all transported
Far beyond the
northern sea
Reuben, Reuben I've been thinking
What a great
life girls would lead
If they had no men about them
None to tease
them, none to heed
Rachel, Rachel I've been thinking
Life would be
so easy then
What a lovely world this would be
If you'd leave it to
the men
Reuben, Reuben stop your teasing
If you've any
love for me
I was only just a-fooling
As I thought, of course, you'd
see
Rachel, if you'll not transport us
I will take
you for my wife
And I'll split with you my money
Every pay day of my
life!
