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 were unhappy, morale was low
They had no place to turn to, there was no place 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
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, hey, nonny, nonny and a woh-woh-woh)
(Check it out!)

So, that's the story and it worked out good
King Richard's on the 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 Two
I said hey (Hey!) I said hey (Hey!) 
I said (Hey, nonny, nonny, hey, nonny, nonny)
(Hey, nonny, nonny, hey, nonny, nonny and a here we go!)
