When Things Were Rotten Lyrics

When Things Were Rotten, Theme

Once upon a time when things were rotten
*Not to spook but also kings were rotten.*
*Every body thinks the peasants *
Things were bad and bad is good.
*Lets play robin hood *
about
*soon the band of merry men begotten*
*they were out to play the plane green cotton*
*helping folks was their big business, *
boy oh boy was business good,
Good for Robin Hood
they laughed they loved
they fought they drank
they jumped a lot of fences
they robed the rich
gave too the poor
except what they kept for expenses
so when other legends are forgotten
we'll remember back when things were rotten
Yayy for Robin Hood
The laughed they loved they fought they drank
They Jumped a lot of fences
they robbed the rich, gave to the poor
except what they kept for expenses
so when other legends are forgotten,
we'll remember back when things were rotten,
Yayyy for Robin Hoooood


Lines in the *'s i'm not sure about, but that's what i think i heard.

[DaleBachman]

I think that one line
Veri was.... "Not just food but also Kings's were rotten."

[DaleBachman]

I think that one line was.... "Not just food but also Kings's were rotten."

Another's line was "things were bad and that ain't good."

[Don Simpson]

Once upon a time, when things were rotten,
Not just food but also kings were rotten,
Everybody sticked the peasants,
Things were bad and that ain’t good,
Then came Robin Hood.
Ba-baaah!
Soon the band of Merry Men begotten,
They wore outfits made of plain-grade cotton,
Helping victims was their business,
Boy oh boy, was business good,
Good for Robin Hood!
They laughed, they loved,
They fought, they drank,
They jumped a lot of fences!
They robbed the rich,
Gave to the poor,
Except what they kept for expenses!
So, when other legends are forgotten,
We’ll remember back when things were rotten,
Yayy for Robin Hood!

I think the line is: Everybody kicked the peasants.

Other than that, I think Don Simpson has it right.
