Yo! Yo! Yo! (Check it out!)
Prince John and the sheriff — they was runnin’ the show,
Raisin’ the taxes ’cause they needed the dough.
A reign of terror took over the land;
They were shakin’ down the people just to beat the band.
I said, “Hey!”
(Hey!)
I said, “Hey!”
(Hey!)
I said,
Hey nonny nonny, and a “Ho, ho, ho!”
The people weren’t happy; morale was low.
They had no place to turn to — there was nowhere to go.
They needed a hero, but no one could be found,
’Cause Robin Hood was out of town.
I said, “Hey!”
(Hey!)
I said, “Hey!”
(Hey!)
I said,
Hey nonny nonny, and a “Ho, ho, ho!”
He was put into the slammer by his Arab foe,
And in a little while he would be no mo’.
I said, “Hey!”
(Hey!)
I said, “Hey!”
(Hey!)
I said,
Hey nonny nonny, hey nonny nonny,
Hey nonny nonny, and a “Woe! Woe! Woe!”

So that’s our story, and it worked out good.
King Richard’s on his throne, and Robin’s back in the ’hood.
So let’s bid our friends a fond adieu,
And hope we meet again in “Robin Hood II.”
I said, “Hey!”
(Hey!)
I said, “Hey!”
(Hey!)
I said,
Hey nonny nonny, hey nonny nonny,
Hey nonny nonny, and a “Here we go!”
