《The Rebel》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rebel - Allan Sherman

[00:00:05] He stood four foot eight and wore a beatnik beard

[00:00:08] He had big thick glasses that looked real weird

[00:00:11] He weighed ninety eight pounds

[00:00:13] But a whole nation feared the rebel

[00:00:17] He had a chick named rhonda a college prize

[00:00:20] Her long hair hung down over her eyes

[00:00:23] Kinda half barbra streisand and half joan baez

[00:00:26] She dug the rebel

[00:00:29] Well they met one day at a pop art bash

[00:00:31] Between a painting of a can of succotash

[00:00:34] And a high camp sculpture of a pile of trash

[00:00:37] It was groovy

[00:00:41] Rhonda dug the rebel and the rebel dug rhonda

[00:00:43] So she grabbed her guitar and roared off on his honda

[00:00:46] To a discotheque called the anaconda

[00:00:49] With the rebel

[00:00:52] When the frugging was over at the discotheque

[00:00:55] The rebel was a tryin' to pay his check

[00:00:58] But his pockets they were empty so he yelled oh heck

[00:01:01] Heck said the rebel

[00:01:04] Well the dean walked by just as that occurred

[00:01:06] He said you can get expelled for what i just heard

[00:01:09] Don't you realize heck is a four letter word

[00:01:12] You rebel

[00:01:15] But the rebel said to his old adversary

[00:01:18] Just as long as that word's in the slang dictionary

[00:01:21] I swear by peter paul and mary

[00:01:24] I'll use it

[00:01:27] Furthermore said the rebel I won't let the issue pass

[00:01:30] The whole student body's gonna sit down en masse

[00:01:33] Besides that way we don't have to go to class

[00:01:35] We're gonna clew it

[00:01:38] Well the sit in started 'bout 7:15

[00:01:42] The whole thing was covered by time magazine

[00:01:44] They even took batman off the tv screen

[00:01:47] To show the rebel

[00:01:51] Out came the captain of the state police

[00:01:53] Arresting lots of students for disturbing the peace

[00:01:56] Including his own son his daughter and his niece

[00:01:59] And the rebel

[00:02:02] Someone called the governor to see what he could do

[00:02:05] The governor said sorry but i cannot talk to you

[00:02:08] Cause i'm a sittin' in at the state house too

[00:02:10] Just like the rebel

[00:02:13] Soon the secondary schools began to rebel

[00:02:17] Kindergarten kids were sitting during show and tell

[00:02:19] Then the older generation started sitting down as well

[00:02:22] Man what a protest

[00:02:26] Doctors sat firemen sat teachers wouldn't teach

[00:02:28] People sat at home and on the street and on the beach

[00:02:31] Just a sittin' and a waitin' for freedom of speech

[00:02:34] Nobody was talkin' to anybody

[00:02:37] The nation was in trouble there wasn't any doubt

[00:02:40] The president went on tv to try to pull us out

[00:02:43] And the president shouted what the heck's it all about

[00:02:46] Heck said the president

[00:02:49] Soon everyone was saying heck' they said it everywhere

[00:02:52] And the rebel said to rhonda this is terribly unfair

[00:02:55] Being hip is getting middle class let's you and i be square

[00:02:58] And they did they squared it up

[00:03:01] Rhonda got a haircut the rebel shaved his beard

[00:03:03] They were married and had children

[00:03:05] Which they subsequently reared

[00:03:06] They moved out to the suburbs and they really disappeared

[00:03:09] Wow did they conform

[00:03:13] Folks built a statue of the rebel

[00:03:15] Just to prove the people's love but the public soon forgot it

[00:03:20] Just the pigeons up above seem to know the right location

[00:03:25] They've all found that statue of the rebel
