I've still got friends who are anxiously waiting for Disney to release DR. SYN ALIAS THE SCARECROW (sometimes called THE SCARECROW OF ROMNEY MARSH.) It's another one of those which has been announced a couple of times and then put away.
Oh, I do hope it does get released! I LOVED that movie when I was a kid!
I still remember the song (and I'm shocked that I do!)
Scarecrow! Scarecrow!
The soldiers of the King feared his name.
Scarecrow!
On the southern coast of England,
There's a legend people tell,
Of days long ago when the great Scarecrow
Would ride from the jaws of Hell -
And laugh (Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Haaa!) with a fiendish yell!
With his clothes all torn and tattered,
Through the black of night he'd ride,
From the marsh to the coast like a demon ghost
He'd rob the rich then hide
And he'd laugh (Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Haaa!) till he split his side!
So the King told all his soldiers,
"Hang him high or hang him low,
But never return till the day I learn
He rides in flames below
Or you'll hang - with the great Scarecrow!"
Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!)
The soldiers of the King feared his name.
Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!)
The country folk all loved him just the same.
Scarecrow!
He would always help the farmer,
When there was no gold to bring,
He'd find a way for the poor to pay
The taxes of the King -
With gold from a smuggler's ring!
Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!)
The soldiers of the King feared his name.
Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!)
The country folk all loved him just the same.
Scarecrow!
Scarecrow!
Scarecrow!
(Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-haaa!)
