Robin Hood and Little John
Walking through the forest
Laughing back and forth at what
The other has to say
Reminiscing this and that
And having such a good time
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Never ever thinking there was danger in the water
They were drinking, they just guzzled it down
Never dreaming that a scheming Sheriff and his posse
Was a-watching them and gathering around
Robin Hood and Little John
Running through the forest
Jumping fences, dodging trees
And trying to get away
Contemplating nothing
But escape and finally making it
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
(Repeated in sing-along version)
Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally
Golly, what a day
Trivia[]
"Oo-de-lally" is a term popularized during the 1950s meaning "yay" or "yippee."
The song has recently appeared in a commercial for Google's Android set to live-action clips of animals playing and getting along with each other, with the tag "Friends Furever."
The scene where Robin Hood and Little John bow to each other was shown on the drive-in movie screen in The One and Only Ivan.
