Main chorus:
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

It has been a few years since I’ve been to Europe, but I can still feel, smell, hear, and see it. The reminiscence happens with little things, not the big ones. I should’ve stayed over there and returned when I had no money (guesstimate: half year to full year).
