Oklahoma - It's a Scandal! It's a 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 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! 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? [Men:] It's problem we must solve We gotta start a revolution! [Girls:] All right, boys! Revolve!
