    [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!
    Broadsides go boom
    With a batter and a clatter
    You can shatter every platter
    But the Moon slept till Sterrenday
