“How ya gonna keep ‘em down on the farm, after they’ve seen Paree?”
- grandson of WWI vet
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 parlez-vous 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?”
My first thought on reading the summary on the FR front page. Yet the WCTU still had their decade-plus run of the 18th Amendment to prove just how wrong-headed they were. It’s too bad other such progressive pap survive today in the Constitution: 16th, 17th, & 19th come to mind.
