[PEDDLER]
Trapped
Tricked
Hoodblinked
Ambushed

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

[PEDDLER]
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 am 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
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
[MEN]
It's getting so you cain't have any fun

[PEDDLER, spoken]
That's right

[MEN]
Every daughter has a father with a gun

[PEDDLER, spoken]
I'll be goned

*Chattеr*

[PEDDLER & MEN]
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
How a gal gets a husband today

[PEDDLER]
If you make onе mistake when the moon is bright
Then they tie you to a contract
So you'll make it ev'ry night

[PEDDLER & MEN]
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
When her family surround you and say
[MEN]
"You gotta take and make an honest womern outta Nell!"

[PEDDLER]
To make you make her honest, she will lie like hell

[PEDDLER & MEN]
It's a scandal, it's an outrage
On our manhood, it's a blot

[PEDDLER, spoken]
You've got it

[MEN]
Where is the leader who will save us?
And be the first man to be shot?

[PEDDLER, spoken]
What me?

[MEN, spoken]
Yes you

[PEDDLER, spoken]
Get out of here
[PEDDLER & 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

[PEDDLER & 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
We must fight it
[?]

[PEDDLER, spoken]
Sure

[MEN]
We gotta start a revolution

[PEDDLER]
So you make hay while I get killed

(Spoken)
Hehe That's a good one-

[PEDDLER]
Fathers with shotguns
Ahh

[MEN]
Fathers with shotguns
Ahh

[PEDDLER]

[MEN]
Revolution
It's a problem we must solve
We've got to start a revolution

[PEDDLER]
All right, boys
Revolve

[MEN]
It's a scandal

[PEDDLER, spoken]
You got it

[MEN]
It's an outrage

[PEDDLER, spoken]
That's right

[MEN]
It's a problem we must crack

[ANNIE]
Look there he is

[PEDDLER]
I've got the answer
I go away and don't come back

*Chattering as the Peddler runs away from Annie and the girls*
