Once, in a full moon
I see twenty tuba players
Rehearsing
'Round the old dance hall
Waiting for the call
Of the sad rebel
I said baby, it's only fair
That every full moon
You let me slide it in, slide it in
And leave it there
Laying around, 'round, 'round
Like a sad rebel
I am high
And lonesome
Always try
Too hard to get some
Piece of the sad rebel
So the vicious heart is easily abused
And a crowd aroung easily amused
Do they know her world?
Do they know her kind?
It's so hard to find
Such a sad rebel
And I feel her legs under the tabel
Baby don't you know, I am unable
To live without
My solitude
Still I'm in the mood-mood-mood
For a sad rebel
I am high
And lonesome
Always try
Too hard to get some
Well it's all too much for too litlle
I can see it in their eyes and it's double
There's just no escape from trouble
I'm gonna live my life
With the sad rebel
