Oklahoma! - It's A Scandal! It's A Outrage! Lyrics
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
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)

(Singing)

Free like a bird in the woodland wild,
Free like a gypsy, free like a child,
I'm a happy man!

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
