Maud's gone wrong
I should have known this all along
She said I feel a revoluton coming on so strong
If you want to know something then ask it
I got my revolver in the baby's basket
I sing an old soldier's song
Maud's gone wrong

Claude's gone west
Taking Evelyn and the rest
But Maud stayed home
She tells me now she's under house arrest
They're coming to get her or so she claims
There's a man going 'round he's taking names
He's doubling his demands
To be paid in rubles and kruggerands

Maud's gone off to Spain
Handing out pamphlets in the rain
The boys in the bar sit back and laugh
At Eleanor's steam powered mimeograph

Maud's gone wrong
Should have known this all along
She said I feel a revoluton coming on so strong
If you want something then take it (take it)
If that's so wrong that's my mistake
If you can't make love then shake it (shake it)
Sing a little bit of this confection
Raise a little glass to the insurrection

Maud's gone wrong (gone wrong)
Maud's gone wrong (gone wrong)
Maud's gone wrong
