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!

Peddler:-a
