In the legendary Sherwood Forest
Good and honest outlaws have a quest
The women and children they must save
From a sheriff neither good nor brave.
Little John with his stick brings order to the outlaw
Robin in the creek: For a lesson, let's go!
But when, unluckily, Little John fell into the water
Laughter erupted instantly, and friendship was born soon after.
Friar Tuck and his bees make a divine elixir
Wine or mead, which will be the winner?
But if the wind is buzzing, don't trust the logic of things
It's because of this astonishing drink that your throat stings.
Robin is an exceptional archer
With targets, with hearts, a charmer
Like Richard, he has the Lion Heart
The prince of thieves has a soul apart.
Lady Marian is a beauty without equal
Sapphire eyes, raven hair, fatal
She helps Robin and his companions
She, too, has the heart of a lion.
In legends down the centuries
There's always a great love story
Sealed like Marian and Robin Hood
On the paths and trees of Sherwood.
