Robin Hood Daffy song
Here's a transcription of the lyrics to Daffy's song, presumedly written by Michael Maltese (uncredited).
"Oh, join up with me,
So joyous and free,
This way to old Sherwood High.
For I'm Robin Hood,
And I'm very good
At avoiding the Sheriff's eye.
"So, we'll trip along merrily,
O'er the greensward so gracefully,
To trip it, trip it, trip it, trip it,
Trip it up and down,
To trip it, trip it, trip it, trip it...
So trip it up and down!"
Does anyone know... is the melody an olde English tune, or something written by Milt Franklyn?
BTW, I had to look "greensward" up in the dictionary. It's a noun meaning "turf that is green with growing grass."
