ROBIN HOOD
(Louis Prima - Bob Miketta)


Louis Prima - 1946



Many long years ago, a fellah named Robin Hood
He used to rob the rich most every chance he could
Oh, you shouldn't get me wrong because he was no square
With his trusty bow and arrow he could part your hair

His brother was Little John, another was Alan A'Dale
A hundred and forty more, together they hit the trail
They would scamper through the forest to the Blue Boar Inn
Mister ???? told 'em where they should begin

They took from the rich man and gave it to the poor man
Had a fear of no man, only for his chick whose name was Marian

Here is a switcheroo for Robin Hood's loyal crew
King Richard forgave them all, here's what they had to do
They became his Royal Rangers and were very good
So that ends our little tale of Robin Hood
