Ruben Remus

Lyrics for Ruben Remus

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 you with the trickster too Sometimes I wonder how you knew An hypnotist, fancy talker Ruben Remus ain't no doctor I knew the man, I tried to remember just where it was, 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 you 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 That man would never knock you Ruben Remus ain't no doctor No one seen you 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 won't you let me in? I'm not the one who did you in Is Mr. Remus still your friend? You say you don't remember him Turn me down, would you? Well, I've got news for you Turn me down, would you? Can't you tell? I'm gonna change your mind before I'm trough
