Robin Hood and Little John
Walkin' through the forest
Laughin' back and forth at what the
Other'ne has to say
Reminiscin' this 'n that 'n havin'
Such a good time
Oo-de-lally, hoo-de-lally, golly
What a day!
Never ever thinkin' there was
Danger in the water
They were drinkin', they just
Guzzled it down
Never dreamin' that a schemin'
Sheriff and his posse
Was a watchin' them and
Gatherin' around
Robin Hood and Little John
Runnin' through the forest
Jumpin' fences, dodgin' trees
And tryin' to get away
Contemplatin' nothin' but escape
And fin'ly makin' it
Oo-de-lally, hoo-de-lally, golly
What a day!
Oo-de-lally, hoo-de-lally, golly
What a day!
Yugi as Little John: (as he remove arrow from his shirt) You know somethin', Robin? You're taking too many chances.
Atemu as Robin Hood: Chances! You must be joking! That was just a bit of a lark Little John.
Yugi as Little John: Yeah? Take a look at your hat. Robin finds an arrow has impaled it That's not a candle on a cake.
Atemu as Robin Hood: Hello, this one almost had my name on it, didn't it? They're getting better, you know. You've got to admit it, they are getting better.
Yugi as Little John: Uh, yeah. The next time, that sheriff will probably have a rope around our necks. Ugh! Pretty hard to laugh hanging there, Rob.
Atemu as Robin Hood: The Sheriff and his whole posse couldn't lift you off the ground, and en garde! (He throws the arrow to Little John )
Yugi as Little John: Hey watch out Rob, that's the only hat I've got.
Atemu as Robin Hood: Oh, come along. You worry too much old boy.
Yugi as Little John: You know something, Robin? I was just wondering, are we good guys or bad guys? You know, I mean, out robbing the rich to feed the poor…
Atemu as Robin Hood: Rob? That's a naughty word. We never rob; we just sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.
Yugi as Little John: Borrow! Boy, are we in debt.
Atemu hearding Bugle sounds as he came high and listening close. It was another royal to steal or rather 'borrow' for the poor people.
Atemu as Robin Hood: Ha, ha. That sounds like another collection day for the poor, eh, Johnny boy?
Yugi as Little John: Yeah. Sweet charity!
It's the royal entourage, and Siegford as Prince John is in the carriage. With him is his chief adviser, Sir Hiss, who's be the voice by Marik from backstage. Between the two of them, they have put a heavy burden of taxes on the poor people. They are making their way through Sherwood Forest on the way to Nottingham to tax the people there
Siegford as Prince John: Taxes! Taxes! Beautiful, lovely taxes! Aha! Aha!
Marik as Sir Hiss: Sire, you have an absolute skill for encouraging contributions from the poor.
Siegford as Prince John: To coin a phrase dear counsellor, rob the poor to feed the rich Am I right? Tell me, what's the next stop, sir Hiss?
Marik as Sir Hiss: Let me see… Reading a map Ooh. The next stop is Nottingham, Sire.
Siegford as Prince John: Oh, the richest plum of them all. Notting-ha-ha-ham.
The crown is too big for his head as it fell on the bewteen his left eye and the nose as audience laughed.
Marik as Sir Hiss: A perfect fit, Sire. Most becoming. You look regal, dignified, sincere, masterful, noble, chivalry…
Siegford as Prince John: Don't overdo it, Hiss. There. That, I believe, does it. This crown gives me a feeling of power. Power! Forgive me a cruel chuckle. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Power, mmm.
Marik as Sir Hiss: How well King Richard's crown sits on your noble brow
Siegford as Prince John: Doesn't it? Angrily King Richard? I've told you never to mention my brother's name!
Marik as Sir Hiss: A mere slip of the forked tongue, Majesty. We're in this plot together, if you don't mind my saying so, and remember it was your idea I hypnotized him…
Siegford as Prince John: I know, and sent him off on that crazy crusade. Ha, ha! Ha, ha!
Marik as Sir Hiss: Much to the sorrow of the Queen Mother.
Siegford as Prince John: crying Mother! Mother always did like Richard best.
He sucks his thumb whilehis other handholding the ear as audience started to laughed even his little brother giggling from audience and Seto found amused.
Marik as Sir Hiss: Your Highness, please, don't do that. If you don't mind my saying so, you see, you have a very loud thumb. Hypnotism can rid you of your psychosis-s-s -s-s-o-o-o-o- e-e-easily.
Siegford as Prince John: No! None of that!
Marik as Sir Hiss: I was only trying to help.
Siegford as Prince John: I wonder. Silly serpent.
Marik as Sir Hiss: Silly serpent?
Siegford as Prince John: Look here. One more, one more hiss out of you…uhh… Hiss, and you are walking to Nottingham.
Marik as Sir Hiss: to himself Snakes don't walk. They slither. Humph, so there.
Robin and Little John quickly slipped into disguises as gypsies fortune tellers and run ahead to the side of the road
Yugi as Little John: What a bad luck. It's only a circus. A peanut operation.
Atemu as Robin Hood: Peanuts, says you? Dunce, that's the royal coach! It's Prince John himself.
Yugi as Little John: The Prince? Wait a minute! There's a law against robbing royalty. I'll catch you later.
Atemu as Robin Hood: What? And miss this chance to perform before royalty?
Yugi as Little John: Ah! Here we go again.
Then two of them came out from behind the tree. Atemu dressed as fortune teller in fake female voice.
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: Oo-da-lolly, oo-da-lolly! Fortune tellers!
Yugi as Little John: Fortunes forecast! Lucky charms!
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: Get the dope with your horoscope!
Siegford as Prince John: peek out and heard them Fortune tellers! How droll! Stop the coach.
Marik as Sir Hiss: Sire, sire, they may be bandits.
Siegford as Prince John: Oh, poppycock. Female bandits? What next? Rubbish! To Robin and Little John disguised as gypsies My dear ladies, you have my permission to kiss the royal hands… whichever you like, first.
Robin and Little John see only the jewels on Prince John's rings with their were gleaming.

He steals one of the rings and kissed on his finger without Prince knew but Sir Hiss do.

Meanwhile Little John kiss the other hand and takes the jewels with him and then smiled at Sir Hiss that made him shocked and audience laughed again when they saw Yugi's mouth that has three gems.
Marik as Sir Hiss: G-g-g-gee…
Siegford as Prince John: Aah! Hiss! Oh, you've hissed your last… hiss. Then the prince place Sir Hiss in the basket and sat on it. Suspicious snake.
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: Masterfully done, Your Excellency. Now close your eyes and concentrate. Close your eyes. Tight shut. No peeking, Sire. Ooh! From the mists of time, come forth, spirits. Yoo-hoo!
Yugi as Little John: outside Little John is preparing the trick of the crystal ball Ok, little fireflies. Glow, babies, glow!
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: We're waiting! Ahh-ohh! Look Sire. Look.
Siegford as Prince John: Ah! Incredible! Floating spirits!
Then suddenly the 'fortune teller' hit on the prince hand.
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: Ah. Oh…naughty, naughty. You mustn't touch, Young man.
Siegford as Prince John: Oh, you struck the royal hand.
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: Shhh! You'll break the spell. Gaze into the crystal ball. Oo-da-lolly. Oo-da-lolly... Oh! A face appears... A crown is on his noble brow.
Siegford as Prince John: Oo-da-lolly he sees himself A crown! How exciting!
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: His face is handsome, regal, majestic… lovable, a cuddly face.
Yugi in also disguise heard everything from outside with disgust look on his face as he shook his face.
Siegford as Prince John: Handsome, regal, majestic…lovable. Yes, yes. Cuddly. Ha ha ha. That's me to a "T", clearly is.

Siegford as Prince John: Now what?
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: chuckling Why, uh… I see, um… your illustrious name…

Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: Your name will go down… down… down… He tries to get out Sir Hiss' tail the money bag in history, of course.
Siegford as Prince John: I knew it! You hear that, Hiss? Oh you can't… He's in the basket. Don't forget it.
Outside, Little John hid bag of gold in his shirt and then he sees that the wheels' hub caps are made of solid gold.
Yugi as Little John: Hmm. What have we here? Solid gold hub caps. He robs them and hid them in back of his pants. Then suddenly he saw gold treasure box. Oo-da-lolly. The jackpot!
He makes a hole in the bottom of the box and all the coins pour out into his dress. One of Battle Ox heard it but annoyed it. Then he saw Yugi as fortune teller walked pass to them but he didn't know Little John was male as he whistled at 'her' and Yugi waving to them. Then when Atemu as Robin and Yugi as Little John run away in different ways, they bump each other as all the goin coins fell all over the ground as they picked up quickly. Siegford came out with only white undercoat as girls screamed, guys and others laughed hard, and teachers just laughed as Sigeford saw Yugi and Atemu run passed him and Atemu laughed and waved at the prince.
Siegford as Prince John: Robbed! I've been robbed! Hiss, you're never around when I need you! Sir Hiss goes out of the basket I've been robbed.
Marik as Sir Hiss: Of course you've been robbed
Atemu as Robin Hood but disguise as fortune teller: Oo-da-lolly! Oo-da-lolly!

The entourage run after them, but the wheels have been robbed also, and Prince John leap out his carriage then falls on the mud puddle ground as his entourage still after them.
Siegford as Prince John: he pounded on muddy pond and wailing No, no, no, no!
Marik as Sir Hiss: I knew it, I knew it! I just knew this would happen. I warned you, but you wouldn't listen. Ah, ah, ah. Seeing that Prince John is going to use the mirror he tries to warn him seven years bad… He breaks the mirror on Sir Hiss' head luck. That's what it is. Besides, you broke your mother's mirror.
Siegford as Prince John: Ohh, Mommy! He sucks his thumb as a baby I've got a dirty thumb.
As audience started to laughed again then applauded to terrific talents actors as the curtains closed down to the floor and waiting next scenes. Siegford walked over to Seto who's has smriked on his face.
