Twas in the Shire of Nottingham <br> In the year twelve hundred and ten <br> Lived a man by the name of Robin Head <br> And his band of very merry men. <br> They lived on nuts and berr-i-es <br> And the occasional spotted deer <br> Doing the macrobiotic thing <br> And dispensing oodles of cheer. <br> <br> The sound of merry laughter <br> Ran out through the forest green <br> There was old Friar Tuck (With whom nothing rhymes) <br> And Marion the acid queen <br> Said Little John, "Lets have some mead" <br> Said Robin, "Ooh. what's the point" <br> "I'm tired of doing this venison thing" <br> "Lets go and roll a joint" <br> <br> Just then there burst upon the scene <br> A band of the Sherrifs men <br> Saying "Allo, allo, allo, allo" <br> "And what's all this 'ere then?" <br> "You'll have to come along with us" <br> "To the palace of the King" <br> "Said Robin "Oh man, don't get so uptight" <br> "I'm only doing my thing" <br> <br> So Robin bade his men farewell <br> And to Marion he gave a kiss <br> Then went with certain substances <br> For further analysis <br> And the news it spread both far and wide <br> And the people all came to see <br> For the man who always gave good deals <br> Was of great popularity <br> <br> So Robin was dragged before the throne <br> Of Nottingham's terrible King <br> "For months now, I've been after you" <br> "and now you'll bloody well swing" <br> "But before I sentence you to hang" <br> "For the evils what you've done" <br> "Tell me, what is this weed you grow in the woods" <br> "I think I will try some" <br> <br> The minutes passed in silence <br> And the air grew awful thick <br> Then the Sherrif cried "Ooh, the colours man!" <br> And was promptly horribly sick <br> And now our story has to end <br> As happy as it began <br> For Robin now deals for the countryside <br> And the Sherrif does Nottingham! <br>
