Tune: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You know Samwise and Frodo, who called himself Underhill Merry and Pippin and also Tom Bombadil But do you recall the most famous hobbit of all…
Bilbo, the hobbit, Baggins Had a magic ring of gold And if you ever wore it You'd disappear, or so I'm told
All of the other hobbits Were content to sit around the Shire They looked upon poor Bilbo With malcontent, disgust and ire
On his eleventy-first birthday Gandalf sagely spoke: “Bilbo, give that ring away, Frodo's a likely bloke.”
Then he went off to Rivendell For he had some elves to see And he wrote down his memories Ensured his place in history
