Songtexte englisch

Oo-de-lally (Miller)

Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest
laughin' back and forth at what the other'ne has to say
reminiscin' this-'n'-that and havin' such a good time
oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day

Never ever thinkin' there was danger in the water
they were drinkin', they just guzzled it down
never dreamin' that a schemin' sherrif and his posse
was a-watchin' them an' gatherin' around

Robin Hood and Little John runnin' through the forest
jumpin' fences, dodgin' trees an' tryin' to get away
contemplatin' nothin' but escape an' fin'lly makin' it
oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day
oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day

Love (Bruns / Huddleston)

It seems like only yesterday
you were just a child at play
now you're all grown up inside of me
oh, how fast those moments flee

Once we watched a lazy world go by
now the days seem to fly
life is brief, but when it's gone
love goes on and on

Love will live, love will last
love goes on and on and on

Once we watched a lazy world go by
now the days seem to fly
life is brief, but when it's gone
love goes on and on

The phony king of England (trad. / Mercer)

Oh, the world will sing of an English King a thousand years from now
and not because he passed some laws or had that lofty brow
while bonny good King Richard leads the great crusade he's on
we'll all have to slave away for that good-for-nothin' John

Incredible as he is inept
whenever the history books are kept
they'll call him the phony king of England
a pox on the phony king of England

He sits alone on a giant throne, pretendin' he's the king
a little tyke who's rather like a puppet on a string
and he throws an angry tantrum if he cannot have his way
and then he calls for Mum while he's suckin' his thumb
you see, he doesn't want to play

Too late to be known as John the First
he's sure to be known as John the worst
a pox on that phony king of England

While he taxes us to pieces and he robs us of our bread
King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down around that pointed head, ah
but while there is a merry man in Robin's wily pack
we'll find a way to make him pay and steal our money back

The minute before he knows we're there
ol' Rob'll snatch his underwear
the breezy and uneasy king of England
the snivellin', grovellin'
measly, weasely
blibberin', blabberin'
jibberin', jabberin'
blunderin', plunderin'
wheelin', dealin'
Prince John, that phony king of England, yeah

Not in Nottingham (Miller)

Every town has its ups and down
Sometime ups outnumber the downs
but not in Nottingham

I'm inclined to believe
if we were so down
we'd up and leave

We'd up and fly if we had wings for flyin'
can't you see the tears we're cryin' ?
can't there be some happiness for me ?
not in Nottingham

......

Every town has its ups and down
Sometime ups outnumber the downs
but not in Nottingham

(Finale) (Bruns / Miller / Huddleston)

Love goes on and on
oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally golly, what a day
oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally golly, what a day
