ROCKET ROBIN HOOD THEME (I couldn't find any details on who wrote the
theme)
 
- transcribed by Sean Peever of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
 

Since Rocket Robin Hood's being broadcast again on Teletoon in Canada, I
decided to have
some fun by figuring out this 60s/70s childhood classic. Although there
are more lyrics to the song,
these are the basic ones heard in the opening and outgoing themes (which
are the ones
that your audience at the club will remember anyway!).
 
This may not be 100% accurate, but it's close enough.
