Pete Sutherland 1999?
(repeat each line of verses)
A long time ago
we don’t know how long
There lived a man named Robin
and this is Robin’s song
He was living in the trees
he was swinging down the vines
With his men all dressed in green
and Marion by his side
Chorus:
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, roamed around the neighborhood
Helping people out of trouble like he knew he should
Knew he should, should be good, good old Robin Hood
King John held a contest
to catch Robin Hood
With a prize golden arrow
saying “boy won’t this be good”
The beggar drew his bow
it was Robin in disguise
He was the best of all them
So of course he won the prize
King John robbed the people
Till he heard the doorbell ring
It was merry men a-calling
Upon the robber king
There’s a fire in the castle
It was set by Little John
The king jumped out the window
And he ran the marathon
Now were they really people
In those tights and pointy hats
Or was it like the movie
Starring bears and snakes and cats
Now Robin married Marion
And they lived out in the forest
They lived happily ever after
Now here comes the chorus
