right outside your door.

No, you ain't seen nothing like it,
not since the Civil War.
Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill,
and Johnny's lads stand very still.

with a chain flying round his head;
and Harold Demure, from Art Literature,
nips up the nearest tree.

handing out bread and jam just like any picnic.

But the Devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out Shoot!
To save my steeple, I visited people;
for this I'd gone when I met Little John.
His name came, I understood,
when the judge said You're a robbing hood.
He told me of his strange foundation,
conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation;
he'd had to hide his reputation.
When poor, 'twas salvation from door to door.
But now, with a pin up guru every week,

with tea from a silver pot just like any picnic.
Along the Forest Road, it's the end of the day
and the Clouds roll away.
Each has got its load they'll come out for the count
at the break in of day.
