Last Words of Robin Hood

Bored Marian of Sherwood

I opened up a sex chat line

One dark and sultry night

to make myself some extra dosh

to pay the gas and light.

'Bored Marian of Sherwood'

I got a lot of calls

from crooks and Christian gentlemen

play-acting with their balls.

Hello, my name is Mr Blair,

I'm dressed up like a nun.

I want lashing by Lord Hutton

for 45 minutes on my bum.

I rang the Sport immediately

and sent them to his pad,

Poor Prescott got the leadership

and the tabloids all went mad.

They called a quick election

and Mr Howard took over

I've had death threats from that Campbell bloke

while the Daily Sport's in clover.

My filthy phone's stopped ringing now

the punters don't like narks

and bored Robin's eating take-aways

in the bleedin dark.
