And the merry men of Robin Hood

They used a quarterstaff.

On the Spanish plains inside their canes

                      G
They hide their ruddy swords.

C              
When punting on the beautiful Thames

                 G
You use a sturdy pole.

      G7
To protect their fair complexion

                 C
Ladies use a parasol.

It's useful in the underbrush

He leans upon his pick

Now every wheel of an automobile

Revolves around a shaft (HEY!)
