Robin Hood - Jamie T

Ah-ah

Ah-ah

Riding in the back seat

Rolling through the neighbourhood

Brought up in the back streets

Wouldn’t change if he could

It’s better than the factory

Or the shopping mall where you work

Johnny doesn’t actually

Had to load the gun to make him work

And all the boys 'round Johnny

They wanna be dealers and thugs

But Johnny knows that it ain’t no good

When the teacher asked him

«Who would you be if you could?»

«I wanna be like Robin Hood

Robin Hood»

He ran in from the alley

To the Halifax where she works

You’ve gotta love Sally

She didn’t flinch once when he burst

In through the doorway

With a sawn-off under his shirt

She knew in the worst way

That he was the man for her

And all the boys 'round Johnny

They wanna be rappers and thugs

But Johnny knows that it ain’t no good

When the teacher asked him

«Who would you be if you could?»

Said «I'd be like Robin Hood»

And I’ll steal from the rich

I’ll give to the poor

I’ll stop the police from

Knocking down the door

I’ll steal it all

Then I’ll steal more

And I’ll never end up

Behind the Jail Guitar Doors

And to this day

As a natural fact

In the best way

They’ve still got each other’s backs

15 Years

2 heart attacks

2 children

Sally’s mother always asks her

«What is it about Johnny

What is it about Johnny that made you bother?»

She says

«There's a few things that are true

In this life of wonder

1. Everybody hates the law

And everyone loves a bank

Robber, robber, robber

Robber, robber, robber!»

Loves a bank robber, robber, robber

Robber, robber!" (x7)

Loves a bank robber

And all the boys 'round Johnny

They wanna be rappers and thugs

But Johnny knows that it ain’t no good

When the teacher asked him

«Who would you be if you could?»

Said «I'd be like Robin Hood»
