It’s a Scandal! It’s an Outrage!

Lyrics

[PEDDLER] Trapped Tricked Hoodblinked Ambushed [MEN] Friend, what's on yer mind? Why do you walk around and around? With your hands folded behind And your chin scrapin' the ground? [PEDDLER] Oh fellas I don't believe it Twenty minutes ago I am free like the breeze Free like a bird in the woodland wild Free like a gypsy, free like a child I'm a happy man I am minding my own business like I oughter Ain't meanin' any harm to anyone I'm talking to a certain farmer's daughter— And then I'm looking into the muzzle of a gun [MEN] It's getting so you cain't have any fun Every daughter has a father with a gun It's a scandal, it's an outrage How a gal gets a husband today [PEDDLER] If you make one mistakе when the moon is bright Then thеy tie you to a contract So you'll make it ev'ry night [PEDDLER & MEN] It's a scandal, it's an outrage When her family surround you and say [MEN] "You gotta take and make an honest womern outta Nell!" [PEDDLER] To make you make her honest, she will lie like hell [PEDDLER & MEN] It's a scandal, it's an outrage On our manhood, it's a blot Where is the leader who will save us? And be the first man to be shot? [PEDDLER, spoken] Me? [MEN, spoken] Yes you [MEN] It's a scandal, it's an outrage Jist a wink and a kiss and you're through [PEDDLER] You're in a mess, and in less than a year, by heck There's a baby on your shoulder making bubbles on your neck [MEN] It's a scandal, it's an outrage Any farmer will tell you it's true [PEDDLER] A rooster in a chickencoop is better off'n men He ain't the special property of just one hen [MEN] It's a scandal, it's an outrage But there's going to be a day We're gonna win our liberation And you [PEDDLER, spoken] Me? [MEN] Will lead the way
