Its A Scandal Its 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 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!
