Robin Hood, Robin Hood

Robin Hood,
Robin Hood,
You'd be napalmed,
In the wood,
If you were indeed alive today.

Tell me, please-
Legend, myth, or man?
Did you really live in Merry England,
The Shire of Nottingham?

Your daring band of robbers,
they gave the gift of hope and cheer,
You spread the riches widely,
To the neglected far and near.

You were the hero,
Of a now forgotten time,
You were but,
a poorer man,
Who kept the rich in line.

Robin Hood,
Robin Hood,
You'd be napalmed,
In the wood,
If you were indeed alive today.
