Reuben and Rachel 
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
