Our Amsterdam troubadour on Java croons his way through a new, self-composed ballad about Errol Flynn as Robin Hood ....
THE BALLAD OF ROBIN HOOD
NO MATTER HOW FAR I’VE TRAVELLED SEARCHING HIGH AND LOW DISHEVELLED AND UNRAVELLED SHOOTING ARROWS WITHOUT A BOW
TOO LATE TO PLAY THE HERO AND FENCE LIKE ERROL FLYNN I GUESS IT’S BACK TO ZERO WONTCHA PITY THE STATE I’M IN
REGARDLESS OF MY EFFORTS TO FIND THAT PRECIOUS PEARL SOME SUGGESTED I HAD BETTER RESORT TO LADIES WHO MERELY TWIRL
AROUND THE CLOCK TILL DAWN BREAKS AND IT’S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE LEAVING ME WITH HEARTACHES “TI AMO” WAS NOTHING BUT A LIE
SO I’LL KEEP ROAMING ‘CROSS ALPINE MOUNTAINS THROUGH DARK FORESTS AND FAR-FLUNG LANDS YEARNING TO MEET THAT PRINCESS WHO MIGHT CARESS ME WITH DAINTY HANDS
AND WHEN I ASK HER NAME SHE’S BOUND TO WHISPER “MARIAN” WE’LL CROSS THE BRIDGE BEFORE OUR FOUR-LEAF CLOVER’S CAST AND LITTLE JOHN WILL LET THE BETTER MAN PASS
NO MATTER HOW FAR I’LL TRAVEL SEARCHING HIGH AND LOW I’LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER LOVE WHO’LL FIT LIKE HAND-IN-GLOVE
TOO LATE TO PLAY THE HERO AND FENCE LIKE ERROL FLYNN I GUESS IT’S BACK TO ZERO DONTCHA ENVY THE GILDED CAGE I’M IN ...
