Every town has its up and downs
But sometimes ups outnumbers the down
But not in Knottingham
And I'm inclined to believe
That if we weren’t so down
We'd up and leave
That we'd up and fly if we had wings for flyin'
Can't the tears we're cryin'?
Won't there be some happiness for me?
Well, not in Knottingham.

Robin Hood and Little John
Running through the forest.
Laughing back and forth at what the others has to say
Reminiscing this and that
And having such a good time
Oo-de-lolly, oo-de-lolly, golly what a day.
Never ever thinking there was danger in the water
They were drinking it and gizzling it down
Never dreaming that a scheming sheriff and his posse
Were a-watching them and gatherin' around
Robin Hood and Little John
Running through the forest
Jumping fences dodging bushes
Tryin' to get away
Contemplating nothing but escape and finally making it.
Oo-de-lolly, oo-de-lolly, golly what a day
Oo-de-lolly, oo-de-lolly, golly what a day.


* original song and words by Roger Miller, for Disney's Robin Hood.
