(İMarc Gunn 2002)</p> 

I'd like to thank you all my friends for coming here today<br>
It's a testament to our friendship and I'd really love to stay<br>
But now at last the time is near, the sun is fadin low.<br>
I hope to see you soon again, but now it's time to go.</p>

Now it's time to go, [clap]<br>
Now it's time to go, [clap,clap]<br>
I hope to see you soon my friends,<br>
but now it's time to go! [clap]</p>

Dear Bagginses n'Boffins, Grubbs n'Chubbs, Burrowses and Tooks,<br>
Bracegirdles, Bolgers, Goodbodies, Hornblowers, Brockhouses n'Goodfoots [Goodfeet]<br>
And a humble thanks to those I missed, my intent is not to do so.<br>
For your friendship each is a blessed thing, but not it's time to go.</p>

Now it's time to go, [clap]<br>
Now it's time to go, [clap,clap]<br>
For your friendship each is a blessed thing,<br>
but now it's time to go! [clap]</p>

On the twenty-second of September, I'll always recollect.<br>
And Frodo too with all of you makes a Gross of my select.<br>
Hobbits and friends and Gandalf too with a wonderful firework show.<br>
One last regret I'll share with you is now it's time to go.</p>

Now it's time to go, [clap]<br>
Now it's time to go, [clap,clap]<br>
One last regret I'll share with you<br>
Is now it's time to go! [clap]</p>

Now it's time to go, [clap]<br>
Now it's time to go, [clap,clap]<br>
I hope to see you soon my friends,<br>
but now it's time to go! [clap]</p>

<b><u>Comments</u></b><br>
Artist Comment: LOTR has a very dark feeling to the story. Well I wanted a song that was light-hearted and interactive with the audience for Memories of Middle Earth. So I turned to the first few pages of Fellowship of the Ring. There, Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins celebrate Bilbo's eleventy-first and Frodo's thirty-third birthday. During this grand celebration of 144 guests (one gross), Bilbo gives a speech, addressing his family and friends before disappearing from The Shire in a grand, unforgettable manner.</p>
