(This version is sung as a canon.
The girls start, and the boys come in after one measure.) Girls: Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking What a strange world this would be If the men were all transported Far across the northern sea. 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. Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking If we went beyond the seas All the men would follow after Like a swarm of honey bees.
Boys: Rachel, Rachel, I've been thinking What a strange world this would be If the girls were all
transported Far across the northern sea. 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. Rachel, Rachel, I've been thinking If we went beyond the
seas All the girls would follow after Like a swarm of honey bees.
