Forest Lyrics
[Verse 1: Matthew Thiessen/Ellie Schmidly]
Little John
Crawling through the thicket
Wondering where on Earth his Robin Hood could be
And Robin Hood
Is flying through the forest
Under and over rocks
Across the tops of fallen trees
[Chorus: Thiessen]
Robin Hood and Little John a rockin in the forest
And the band of Merry Men are bringing home the chorus
[Verse 2: Thiessen & Schmidly/Thiessen]
I lost my head beneath the Sherwood leaves
I can't get no rest in this sleepy hollow
But I'll do my best to see you in my dreams
And I have to do a little more than beg and borrow
If I wanna steal your heart away
[Verse 3: Thiessen/Schmidly/Schmidly & Robert Gay]
Little John
Sitting on a tree stump
Scratching his noggin and thinking
"Without my Robin, who am I?"
And Robin Hood
Is summiting a hilltop
Spying Little John
Relieved, he heaves a sigh
Little John
Crawling through the thicket
Wondering where on Earth his Robin Hood could be
And Robin Hood
Is flying through the forest
Under and over rocks
Across the tops of fallen trees
[Chorus: Thiessen]
Robin Hood and Little John a rockin in the forest
And the band of Merry Men are bringing home the chorus
[Verse 2: Thiessen & Schmidly/Thiessen]
I lost my head beneath the Sherwood leaves
I can't get no rest in this sleepy hollow
But I'll do my best to see you in my dreams
And I have to do a little more than beg and borrow
If I wanna steal your heart away
[Verse 3: Thiessen/Schmidly/Schmidly & Robert Gay]
Little John
Sitting on a tree stump
Scratching his noggin and thinking
"Without my Robin, who am I?"
And Robin Hood
Is summiting a hilltop
Spying Little John
Relieved, he heaves a sigh
[Chorus: Thiessen]
Robin Hood and Little John are rocking in the forest
And the band of Merry Men are bringing home the chorus
[Verse 4: Thiessen]
Little John
I got some place I need to be
Gonna get Maid Marian to marry me
Little John
I got some things I gotta say
If I'm gonna steal her heart away
[Chorus: Thiessen]
Robin Hood and Little John are rocking in the forest
And the band of Merry Men are bringing home the chorus
[Chorus: Thiessen]
Robin Hood and Little John are rocking in the forest
And the band of Merry Men are bringing home the chorus
Robin Hood and Little John are rocking in the forest
And the band of Merry Men are bringing home the chorus
[Verse 4: Thiessen]
Little John
I got some place I need to be
Gonna get Maid Marian to marry me
Little John
I got some things I gotta say
If I'm gonna steal her heart away
[Chorus: Thiessen]
Robin Hood and Little John are rocking in the forest
And the band of Merry Men are bringing home the chorus
[Chorus: Thiessen]
Robin Hood and Little John are rocking in the forest
And the band of Merry Men are bringing home the chorus
