Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o
And in that hole there was a home, a stout home, a Hobbit home
With the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now in that home there was a den, a stout den, a Hobbit's den
With the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now in that den there was a desk, a stout desk, a Hobbit's desk
With the desk in the den
And the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now at that desk there was a chair, a stout chair, a Hobbit's chair
With the chair at the desk
And the desk in the den
And the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now on that chair there was a Baggins, a stout Baggins, a Hobbit Baggins
With the Baggins on the chair
And the chair at the desk
And the desk in the den
And the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now on that Baggins there was a vest, a stout vest, a Hobbit's vest
With the vest on the Baggins
And the Baggins on the chair
And the chair at the desk
And the desk in the den
And the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now on that vest there was a pocket, a stout pocket, a Hobbit's pocket
With the pocket on the vest
And the vest on the Baggins
And the Baggins on the chair
And the chair at the desk
And the desk in the den
And the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now in that pocket there was a chain, a stout chain, a Hobbit's chain
With chain in the pocket
And the pocket on the vest
And the vest on the Baggins
And the Baggins on the chair
And the chair at the desk
And the desk in the den
And the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now on that chain there was a Ring, a gold Ring, a magic Ring
With the Ring on the chain
And chain in the pocket
And the pocket on the vest
And the vest on the Baggins
And the Baggins on the chair
And the chair at the desk
And the desk in the den
And the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Now on that Ring there were some words, some old words, some Elvish words
With the words on the Ring
And the Ring on the chain
And chain in the pocket
And the pocket on the vest
And the vest on the Baggins
And the Baggins on the chair
And the chair at the desk
And the desk in the den
And the den in the home
And the home in the hole
And the hole down in the Shire-o.
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o
