rate me[Peddler]<br />
Oh!<br />
Trapped!...<br />
Tricked! ...<br />
Hoodwinked! ...<br />
Ambushed! ...<br />
<br />
[Men]<br />
Friend,<br />
Whut's on yer mind?<br />
Why do you walk<br />
Around and around,<br />
With yer hands<br />
Folded behind,<br />
And yer chin scrapin' the ground?<br />
<br />
[Peddler]<br />
[Speaking]<br />
O fellars I don't believe it!<br />
<br />
[Singing]<br />
Twenty minutes ago I am free like the breeze,<br />
Free like a bird in the woodland wild,<br />
Free like a gypsy, free like a child,<br />
I'm a happy man!<br />
<br />
[Additional Verse]<br />
I'm unattached!<br />
Twenty minutes ago I can do what I please,<br />
Flick my cigar ashes on a rug,<br />
Dunk with a donut, drink from a jug-<br />
<br />
[Peddler]<br />
I'm minding my own business like I oughter<br />
Ain't meanin' no harm to anyone.<br />
I'm talking to a certain farmer's daughter-<br />
Then I'm looking into the muzzle of a gun!<br />
<br />
[Men]<br />
It's getting so you cain't have any fun!<br />
Every daughter has a father with a gun!<br />
It's a scandal, it's an outrage!<br />
How a gal gits a husband today!<br />
<br />
[Peddler]<br />
If you make one mistake when the moon is bright,<br />
Then they tie you to a contract,<br />
So you'll make it ev'ry night!<br />
<br />
[Men]<br />
It's a scandal, it's an outrage!<br />
When her fambly surround you and say:<br />
"You gotta make an honest womern outta Nell!"<br />
<br />
[Peddler]<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 />
[Peddler]<br />
Me?<br />
<br />
[Men]<br />
It's a scandal, it's an outrage!<br />
Jist a wink and a kiss and you're through!<br />
<br />
[Peddler]<br />
You're in a mess, and in less than 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 />
[Peddler]<br />
A rooster in a chickencoop is better off'n 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 />
When it's gonna be the day<br />
We're gonna lead the liberation<br />
And we will lead the way?<br />
<br />
[Alternative Verse]<br />
[Men]<br />
It's a problem we must solve<br />
We gotta start a revolution!<br />
<br />
[Girls]<br />
All right, boys! Revolve
