Song by Rodgers and Hammerstein<br /><br>

[ALI THE PEDDLERMAN] <br>

Trapped! <br>

Tricked! <br>

Hoodblinked! <br>

Hambushed! <br>

<br>

[MEN] <br>

Friend, what's on your mind? <br>

Why do you walk around and around? <br>

With your hands folded behind? <br>

And your chin scraping the ground? <br>

<br>

[ALI] <br>

Twenty minutes ago, I am free, like a breeze. <br>

Free like a bird in the woodland wild. <br>

Free like a gypsy, free like a child. <br>

I am unattached. <br>

<br>

Twenty minutes ago, I can do what I please. <br>

Flick my cigar ashes on the rug. <br>

Dunk with a donut, drink from a jug. <br>

I am a happy man. <br>

<br>

I am minding my own business like I oughta. <br>

Ain't meaning any harm to anyone. <br>

I'm talking to a certain farmer's daughter- <br>

Then I am looking in the muzzle of a gun! <br>

<br>

[MEN]<br>

It's getting so you can't have any fun.<br>

Every daughter has a father with a gun.<br>

<br>

It's a scandal. It's an outrage.<br>

How a gal gets a husband today.<br>

<br>

[ALI]<br>

If you make one mistake when the moon is bright<br>

Then they tie you to a contract so you make it every night.<br>

<br>

[MEN]<br>

It's a scandal. It's an outrage.<br>

When her family surround you and say,<br>

"You gotta take and make an honest woman outa Nell"<br>

<br>

[ALI]<br>

To make you make her honest, she will lie like hell!<br>

<br>

[MEN]<br>

It's a scandal. It's an outrage.<br>

On our manhood it's a blot!<br>

Where is the leader who will save us<br>

And be the first man to be shot?<br>

<br>

[ALI]<br>

Me?<br>

<br>

[MEN]<br>

Yes, you!<br>

<br>

It's a scandal. It's an outrage.<br>

Just a wink and a kiss and you're through!<br>

<br>

[ALI]<br>

You're a mess, and in less then a year, by heck<br>

There's a baby on your shoulder making bubbles on your neck.<br>

<br>

[MEN]<br>

It's a scandal. It's an outrage.<br>

Any farmer will tell you it's true.<br>

<br>

[ALI]<br>

A rooster in a chicken coop is better off than men-<br>

He ain't the special property of just one hen.<br>

<br>

[MEN]<br>

It's a scandal. It's an outrage.<br>

It's a problem we must solve.<br>

We gotta start a revolution!<br>

<br>

[WOMEN]<br>

All right, boys. Revolve!<br>

<br>

<br>
