"How you gonna keep 'em,down on the farm,
After they've seen Paree".

Is that it,Ebbie?

The below lyrics are from

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=UgqVCJpRqWQ

"Walter Donaldson wrote the music to this in 1919 (Joe Young and Sam M. Lewis wrote the words), and the song wound up being an overnight smash hit. It was recorded by nearly everyone, but no rendition was more sublimely spirited than this one, recorded for Columbia by Nora Bayes - a vaudeville talent of legendary proportions.

HOW YA GONNA KEEP 'EM DOWN ON THE FARM?

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'?

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
Imagine Reuben when he meets his Pa
He'll kiss his cheek and holler "OO-LA-LA!
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree'?"

It is a secret between him and me when I visit. Oh I feed him his organic whatever for his meal but then I will say. Hey what do you say me and you have a cookie from our hidden stash and he claps his little hands ... then we watch the wiggles together

An interesting thought: Since every kid has to rebel against parents some day, perhaps your grandkid's rebellion will consist of a demand for chocolate chip cookies in the house?
