Well then, what a delightful evening for a little mischief Seems such a shame to let this perfect moonlight go to waste Now, where's the fun if everything's permissive? A chance like this was simply meant to be embraced You'll always find the wealthy wonderfully complacent And that's exactly why I'm so exceedingly patient I wait for lamps to dim, footsteps to still, and shadows to grow longer The time is right—I skim with practiced skill, not one more breath to squander I find the ivy far more welcoming than any grand front gate I've climbed to quite a handsome view atop the whole estate Well now, this window's locked up tight... that's very much my style A muted click, and in I slip by cunning and by guile Everything has gone to plan! Come on in, my merry men! The game's afoot, let's have some fun! Tonight we'll right another wrong! We steal with smiles and give with glee The richer they are, the sweeter the spree Here's Robin, here's Robin from the Wood! The finest rogue in all the land His merry band, all hand in hand It's Robin, it's Robin of the Hood! Heave and ho and don't lose hold! Leave no bag of Prince John's gold! Heave and ho and don't lose hold! Prince John's gold will soon be doled! Blast! The guard has changed his round His hounds have picked our scent up fast One creaking board and I'll be found I'm cornered here at last Let's have a look before those gentlemen come bursting through the door I've never met a castle lacking one escape or more The wardrobe? No. The chimney? No. There has to be another way That black robe there might win me yet another thieving day Wrapped in black, I neatly hide where deepest shadows creep The guard moves in with lantern raised, I don't dare make a peep He searches high, he searches low—I swiftly dart outside And off into the waiting night, I take my merry stride Well my friends, the coast is clear Now take the gold and disappear! We'll make their greed our charity To share with those in poverty! We steal with smiles and give with glee The richer they are, the sweeter the spree Here's Robin, here's Robin from the Wood! The finest rogue in all the land His merry band, all hand in hand It's Robin, it's Robin of the Hood! It's Robin, it's Robin of the Hood! It's Robin, it's Robin of the Hood!
