Lyrics for Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies

 

Track 2:                                        Sherwood Forest

 

Billy: (Spoken)

In fair old merry England, eleven ninety two,

We raise the curtain on a play I’ve written just for you

Our scene is set in Sherwood, beside the Major Oak

Where lives a maid called Marion, with kind and simple folk.

(Louder) Cue opening number!

 

Marion:     

Follow in my footsteps, cross the forest floor

There’s a wilderness of wonder to explore!

Everybody lives hand in hand with nature,

In a land of birds and bees,

Underneath the shade of ancient trees!

 

All:  When you’re living in Sherwood Forest,

Every day is new!

When you’re living in Sherwood Forest,

Skies are always blue!

There’s no doubt we’re carving out

A life for me and you,

Right here in Sherwood—where dreams come true!

 

 

 

In our land of plenty, living life for free,

An adventure lies in wait for you and me!

We are sowing the seeds of Mother Nature,

Hear her laughter in the leaves,

Come and feel the magic that she weaves!

 

When you’re living in Sherwood Forest,

Every day is new!

When you’re living in Sherwood Forest,

Skies are always blue!

There’s no doubt we’re carving out

A life for me and you,

Right here in Sherwood…

 

(The chorus split into two groups for the final part of the song.)

 

Group 1:    Where dreams come true!

 

Group 2:    Sherwood Forest,

Where your dreams will all come true!

 

Group 1:    Where dreams come true!

 

Group 2:    Sherwood Forest

 

All:  Where your dreams will all come true!

 

Track 8:                                           Helping Hand

 

All:  Sometimes the world can be a worry,

Sometimes it’s hard to understand.

When life is a mess, who will come to the rescue,

And lend you a helping hand?

 

So when the world all around

Is falling deep in despair,

Just say the word and a helping hand

Is sure to be there!

For we will fly to your side

Upon a wing and a prayer-

That’s when you need a helping hand!

 

When you’re deserted in the desert,

Thinking you’ll sink in sinking sand,

Whenever you’re stuck,

Or you’re down on your luck,

All you need is a helping hand!

 

So when the world all around

Is falling deep in despair,

Just say the word and a helping hand

Is sure to be there!

For we will fly to your side

Upon a wing and a prayer-

That’s when you need a helping hand!

 

So when the world all around

Is falling deep in despair,

Just say the word and a helping hand

Is sure to be there!

For we will fly to your side

Upon a wing and a prayer-

That’s when you need a helping,

That’s when you need a helping,

That’s when you need... A helping hand!

Ging gang gooly-gooly-gooly-gooly

What you need’s a helping hand!

Robin:        (Spoken) The name’s Hood... Robin Hood! Licence... to thrill!

 

Marion:      He’s just a man, with a bow in his hand

Fighting for our freedom, right across the land

He’s just a man, who will do what he can

To find a way to a better day tomorrow!

 

All:  Tomorrow!

Track 37:                                If We All Work Together

 

Robin:        If we all work together,

Our foes will be few!

Yes if we all work together,

It’s time to launch our endeavour,

So join the crew!

In any kind of weather,

Together we’re strong and we’re true!

Track 46:                             Singing All Over The World

 

Robin:         Sing me a song, make it short, make it long,

You know it won’t be too long

Before I’m singing along

Sing it loud, sing it clear, so that people can hear

And they’ll be singing all over the world!

 

Round and around goes the music we’ve found

It’s such a wonderful sound,

So let us spread it around

Sing it loud, sing it clear, so that people can hear

And they’ll be singing all over the world!

 

All:  If you’re locked away alone,

And feeling on your own

Then music is the thing to set you free

If you sing a happy tune, then very soon

You’ll find the key!

 

Sing me a song, make it short, make it long,

You know it won’t be too long

Before I’m singing along

Sing it loud, sing it clear, so that people can hear

And they’ll be singing all over the world!

 

Round and around goes the music we’ve found

It’s such a wonderful sound,

So let us spread it around

Sing it loud, sing it clear, so that people can hear

And they’ll be singing all over the world!

 

If you’re locked away alone,

And feeling on your own

Then music is the thing to set you free

If you sing a happy tune, then very soon

You’ll find the key!

Change the key!

 

(The chorus split into 3 groups for the final section of the song.)

 

Group 1:    Sing me a song, make it short, make it long,

You know it won’t be too long

It’s such a wonderful sound,

So let us spread it around

Sing it loud, sing it clear, so that people can hear

And they’ll be singing all over the world!

Sing, and all the world will hear!

Sing, and all the world sings with you!

Sing, and all the world will hear!

La la la la, la la la!

And around and around…

All over the world!

Singing all over the world!
