I think it won't take too long
I think you've got it wrong
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like an outlaw dressed all in green
what's he gonna turn out like?
Someone else said, never mind
and more than twice as old
As all the cats I'd ever seen
I grew my hair and bought a suit of shiny white,
I shook and shivered and danced and
quivered and stood on a mountain top
No one came for miles around and said,
man, your music is really hot
Well, I knew what they meant
Oh, my front was tied and worn
My pretty face just looked out of place
as they poured on the scone
from a man who was a king
He said my boy would have
There weren't any scenes at all
like he was talking about
Well, I could write a million songs
about the things I've done
Well, it's love for the rich
And there's another one for singers
Man, your music is really funky
Oh, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
and nothing but the truth
Nobody knows who's real and
Everyone's shouting out loud
It's only the glitter and shine
Where's my Robin Hood out fit?
I'm gone before your winking eye
The money's good and the times
you have fun and games galore
and you lie in bed forgotten
And wonder what you did it for
No one came for miles around
