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
