It’s a Scandal! It’s a Outrage!

Trapped!
Tricked!
Hoodblinked!
Hambushed!

Friend, what's on your mind?
Why do you walk around and around?
With your hands folded behind?
And your chin scraping the ground?

Twenty minutes ago, I am free like a breeze
Free like a bird in the woodland wild
Free like a gypsy, free like a child
I'm unattached!

Twenty minutes ago, I can do what I please
Flick my cigar ashes on the rug
Dunk with a donut, drink from a jug
I'm a happy man!

I'm minding my own business like I oughta
Ain't meaning any harm to anyone
I'm talkin' to a certain farmer's daughter
Then I'm looking in a muzzle of a gun!

It's getting so you can'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
If you make one mistake when the moon is bright
Then they tie you to a contract so you make it every night

It's a scandal, it's an outrage!
When her family surround you and say
"You gotta take and make an honest woman out of Nell"
To make you make her honest, she will lie like hell!

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?

Me?
Yes, you

It's a scandal, it's an outrage!
Just a wink and a kiss and you're through
You're a mess, and in less than a year, by heck
There's a baby on your shoulder making bubbles on your neck

It's a scandal, it's an outrage!
Any farmer will tell you it's true
A rooster in a chicken coop is better off than men
He ain't the special property of just one hen!

It's a scandal! It's an outrage!
It's a problem we must solve
We've gotta start a revolution!

Alright boys, revolve
