Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits lyrics

Don't go drinking with hobbits
Sure you'll have a grand time all night long
But if you're not used to drinking with hobbits
You may not want to wake up at all

They were thoughtful and kind when they invited me to drink
A lone human among hobbitkind
They bought me a half, then another and one more
And told stories of days long gone by

The brew was strong, my glass never empty
As if time stood still and bare
But when I awoke the next morning
I felt like Old Smaug had been there

Don't go drinking with hobbits
Sure you'll have a grand time all night long
But if you're not used to drinking with hobbits
You may not want to wake up at all

You may wonder how it all happened
Well, I'm still wondering what happened too
I had tea, dinner, and supper
Quite full, I thought I was through

They insisted I come to the Flagon
And drink to the health of new friends
But when I go there, I met more hobbit friends
And the toasts seemed never to end
Don't go drinking with hobbits
Sure you'll have a grand time all night long
But if you're not used to drinking with hobbits
You may not want to wake up at all

When the sun it rose the next morning
And I lifted my head from my drool
There were beer mugs spilled on the tables
And hobbits lying next to their stools

A young hobbit lass grinned cross the barroom
And nudged each of my new hobbit friends
Then sometime after second breakfast
We all started drinking again

Don't go drinking with hobbits
Sure you'll have a grand time all night long
But if you're not used to drinking with hobbits
You may not want to wake up at all

I left Hobbiton a few days later
My head was swollen and sore
It felt like a dwarven anvil
After a terrible war

I don't think I'll ever recover
From the food, the drink and the cheer
Now I swear I'll never drink with hobbits again
At least, 'til I see them next year
Don't go drinking with hobbits
Sure you'll have a grand time all night long
But if you're not used to drinking with hobbits
You may not want to wake up at all
