The Rebel - Allan Sherman

He stood four foot eight and wore a beatnik beard

He had big thick glasses that looked real weird

He weighed ninety eight pounds

But a whole nation feared the rebel

He had a chick named rhonda a college prize

Her long hair hung down over her eyes

Kinda half barbra streisand and half joan baez

She dug the rebel

Well they met one day at a pop art bash

Between a painting of a can of succotash

And a high camp sculpture of a pile of trash

It was groovy

Rhonda dug the rebel and the rebel dug rhonda

So she grabbed her guitar and roared off on his honda

To a discotheque called the anaconda

With the rebel

When the frugging was over at the discotheque

The rebel was a tryin' to pay his check

But his pockets they were empty so he yelled oh heck

Heck said the rebel

Well the dean walked by just as that occurred

He said you can get expelled for what i just heard

Don't you realize heck is a four letter word

You rebel

But the rebel said to his old adversary

Just as long as that word's in the slang dictionary

I swear by peter paul and mary

I'll use it

Furthermore said the rebel I won't let the issue pass

The whole student body's gonna sit down en masse

Besides that way we don't have to go to class

We're gonna clew it

Well the sit in started 'bout 7:15

The whole thing was covered by time magazine

They even took batman off the tv screen

To show the rebel

Out came the captain of the state police

Arresting lots of students for disturbing the peace

Including his own son his daughter and his niece

And the rebel

Someone called the governor to see what he could do

The governor said sorry but i cannot talk to you

Cause i'm a sittin' in at the state house too

Just like the rebel

Soon the secondary schools began to rebel

Kindergarten kids were sitting during show and tell

Then the older generation started sitting down as well

Man what a protest

Doctors sat firemen sat teachers wouldn't teach

People sat at home and on the street and on the beach

Just a sittin' and a waitin' for freedom of speech

Nobody was talkin' to anybody

The nation was in trouble there wasn't any doubt

The president went on tv to try to pull us out

And the president shouted what the heck's it all about

Heck said the president

Soon everyone was saying heck' they said it everywhere

And the rebel said to rhonda this is terribly unfair

Being hip is getting middle class let's you and i be square

And they did they squared it up

Rhonda got a haircut the rebel shaved his beard

They were married and had children

Which they subsequently reared

They moved out to the suburbs and they really disappeared

Wow did they conform

Folks built a statue of the rebel

Just to prove the people's love but the public soon forgot it

Just the pigeons up above seem to know the right location

They've all found that statue of the rebel
