Ruben Remus lyrics
Songwriters: Manuel, Richard; Robertson, Robbie;

Wrote a letter this mornin
Put it in your hat
Cause no one to read it
And I know you knew that

I bought a joke, a trick or two
Just to bring and show you
Caught ya with the trickster too

Sometimes I wonder how ya knew
A hypnotist, fancy talker
Ruben Remus ain t no doctor

I knew the man and tried to remember
Just where it was that I d seen his face
Long ago, in a movie show
He was like that man singin bass
Knew him by his nursery rhyme

The Story Of The Rabbit Man
Fell right in and said to him
"I d like to help you if I can"
I know the film would only shock ya
Ruben Remus ain t no doctor

He only needed what you had
Asked for nothing more
Said he d like to take you on
But it s been done before

You couldn t see he s a travelin man
And he cannot take your hand
It s very hard to understand
Why his songs were never banned
Guess the man would never knock ya
Ruben Remus ain t no doctor

No one seen ya since he s been gone
It s been a day, maybe more
I took a walk in your yard
And knocked on your back door

Why don t you let me in?
I m not the man who did ya in
Is Mr. Remus still your friend?
You say you don t remember him

Turn me down, would ya?
Well, I ve got news for you
Turn me down would ya? Can t ya tell
I m gonna change your mind before I m through
