richard rodgers – it’s a scandal! it’s an outrage! lyrics
[peddler]
oh!
trapped!
tricked!
hoodblinked!
ambushed!
[men]
friend
whut’s on yer mind?
why do you walk
around and around
with yer hands
folded behind
and yer chin scr-pin’ the ground?
[peddler, spoken]
o fellars i don’t believe it!
(sung)
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
fl!ck 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!
[men]
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!
[peddler]
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!
[men]
it’s a scandal, it’s an outrage!
when her fambly surround you and say
“you gotta make an honest womern outta nell!”
[peddler]
to make you make her honest, she will lie like h-ll!
[men]
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?
[peddler]
me?
[men]
it’s a scandal, it’s an outrage!
jist a wink and a kiss and you’re through!
[peddler]
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!
[men]
it’s a scandal, it’s an outrage!
any farmer will tell you it’s true
[peddler]
a rooster in a chickencoop is better off’n men
he ain’t the special property of just one hen!
[men]
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!
[girls]
all right, boys! revolve!
