REUBEN AND RACHEL

(Harry Birch)



Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking

What a queer world this would be

If the men were all transported

Far beyond the Northern Sea!

Rachel, Rachel, I've been thinking

What a queer world this would be

If the girls were all transported

Far beyond the Northern Sea!



cho: Too-ral-loo-ral-loo, Too-ral-loo-ral,

Too-ral-loo-ral-loo, Too-ral-lee

Far beyond the Northern Sea! (repeats last line of verse)



Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking

Life would be so easy then;

What a lovely world this would be

If there were no tiresome men!

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, I've been thinking

If we went beyond the seas,

All the men would follow after

Like a swarm of bumble-bees!

Rachel, Rachel, I've been thinking

If we went beyond the seas,

All the girls would follow after

Like a swarm of honey-bees!



Note: The chorus is often omitted, particularly in parodies
