[FRODO] There's an inn of old renown Where they brew a beer so brown Moon came rolling down the hill One Hevnsday night to drink his fill [FRODO/MERRY] On a three-stringed fiddle there Played the Ostler's cat so fair The hornèd Cow that night was seen To dance a jig upon the green Called by the fiddle to the Middle of the muddle where the Cow with a caper sent the Small dog squealing Moon in a fuddle went to Huddle by the griddle but he Slipped in a puddle and the World went reeling Downsides went up- hey! Outsides went wide As the fiddle Played a twiddle And the Moon slept till Sterrenday Upsides went west- hey! Broadsides went boom With a twiddle on the fiddle In the middle by the griddle And the Moon slept till Sterrenday [FRODO] Dish from off the dresser pranced Found a spoon and gaily danced [PIPPIN] Horses neighed and champed their bits For the bloodshot Moon had lost his wits [MERRY] Well, cow jumped over, Dog barked wild Moon lay prone and sweetly smiled [SAM] Ostler cried, "Play faster, Cat! [ALL] Because we all want to dance like that." [FRODO/PIPPIN] Gambol and totter till you're Hotter than a hatter and you Spin all akimbo Like a windmill flailing
Whirl with a clatter till you Scatter every cotter and the Strings start a-pinging as the World goes sailing [ALL HOBBITS] Downsides go up- hey! Outsides go wide You can clatter With your platter But the Moon slept till Sterrenday Upsides go west- hey!
