It's A Scandal! It's A Outrage!
Oh!
Trapped!
Tricked!
Hoodblinked!
Ambushed!
Friend
Whut's on yer mind?
Why do you walk
Around and around
With yer hands
Folded behind
And yer chin scrapin' the ground?
O fellars 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'm unattached!
Twenty minutes ago I can do what I please
Flick my cigar ashes on a rug
Dunk with a donut, drink from a jug
I'm minding my own business like I oughter
Ain't meanin' no harm to anyone
I'm talking to a certain farmer's daughter
Then I'm looking into the muzzle of a gun!
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 gits a husband today!
If you make one mistake when the moon is bright
Then they tie you to a contract
So you'll make it ev'ry night!
It's a scandal, it's an outrage!
When her fambly surround you and say
"You gotta make an honest womern outta 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?
It's a scandal, it's an outrage!
Jist a wink and a kiss and you're through!
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!
It's a scandal, it's an outrage!
Any farmer will tell you it's true
A rooster in a chickencoop is better off'n men
He ain't the special property of just one hen!
It's a scandal, it's an outrage!
When it's gonna be the day
We're gonna lead the liberation
And we will lead the way?
It's problem we must solve
We gotta start a revolution!
All right, boys! Revolve!
Trapped!
Tricked!
Hoodblinked!
Ambushed!
