Lyrics:
[Peddler] Oh! Trapped!... Tricked! ... Hoodwinked! ... Ambushed! ... [Men] Friend, Whut's on yer mind? Why do you walk Around and around, With yer hands Folded behind, And yer chin scrapin' the ground? [Peddler] [Speaking] O fellars I don't believe it! [Singing] 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! [Additional Verse] I'm unattached! Twenty minutes ago I can do what I please, Flick my cigar ashes on a rug, Dunk with a donut, drink from a jug- [Peddler] 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 hell! [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? [Alternative Verse] [Men] It's a problem we must solve We gotta start a revolution! [Girls] All right, boys! Revolve
