Correction Lyrics It’s a Scandal! It’s an Outrage! by Richard Rodgers

Lyrics

Trapped
Tricked
Hoodblinked
Ambushed

Friend, what's on yer mind?
Why do you walk around and around?
With your hands folded behind
And your chin scrapin' the ground?

Oh fellas 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 am minding my own business like I oughter
Ain't meanin' any harm to anyone
I'm talking to a certain farmer's daughter—
And 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 gets a husband today

If you make one mistakе when the moon is bright
Then thеy tie you to a contract
So you'll make it ev'ry night

It's a scandal, it's an outrage
When her family surround you and say

"You gotta take and 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?
Yes you

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
But there's going to be a day
We're gonna win our liberation
And you

Me?
Will lead the way
