Reuben And Rachel

Words & Music:

Harry Birch

 

D

Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking.

G                    A7

What a strange world this would be

D

If all the men were all transported

D       G               D

Far beyond the northern sea!

 

Rachel, Rachel, I've been thinking.

What a strange world this would be

If the women were all transported

Far beyond the northern sea!

 

Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking.

Life would be so easy then!

What a great world this would be,

If there were no tiresome men!

 

Rachel, Rachel, I've been thinking.

Life would be so easy then!

What a great 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 bumblebees!

 

Rachel, Rachel, I've been thinking.

If we went beyond the seas,

The women all would follow after

Like a swarm of honeybees!
