Ticklish Reuben  "Ticklish Reuben" is a folk song written by Cal Stewart in 1900. Released on the Victor Label, the song is a prime example of the "laughing song" genre. Initially, the tune starts off normally, then descends into jolly, rhythmic laughing. "Oh",  "My name is Ticklish Reuben"  "From way down in old Vermont" "And ev'rything seems ticklish to me"  "I've been tickled by a feather" "I've been tickled by a wasp" "I've been tickled by a yellow bumblebee"  "I have always got a tickled sort of way about my clothes" "It doesn't really matter where I be" "I am tickled in the morning and I'm tickled in the night" "Something's always sure to tickle me"  "hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah" "hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah"  "Once I put some pepper into Dad's snuffbox" "And the way he acted was a sight to see" "Well he coughed and he sneezed till I thought he'd have a fit" "And then he took me out to tickle me"  "I was always getting tickled by someone about the house" "So why they take to ticklin' I could never see" "And the apple-butter paddle it is all in splinters now" "Daddy wore it out a-ticklin' me"
