Medley: That’s What Bilbo Baggins Hates/Misty Mountains Cold/Gandalf’s Recitation Lyrics
Chip the glasses, crack the plates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates
So carefully, carefully with the plates!
Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
Smash the bottles, burn the corks!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates
So carefully, carefully with the plates!
Far o'er the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale, enchanted gold
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells
Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold; where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves
For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword
On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun
The pines were roaring on the height
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light
The bells were ringing in the dale
And men they looked up with faces pale;
The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail
The mountain smoked beneath the moon;
The dwarves they heard the tramp of doom
They fled their hall to dying fall
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon
We must away ere break of day
To win our harps of gold from him!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates
So carefully, carefully with the plates!
Smash the bottles, burn the corks!
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates
So carefully, carefully with the plates!
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale, enchanted gold
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells
And harps of gold; where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, in twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread;
The trees like torches blazed with light
And men they looked up with faces pale;
The dragon’s ire more fierce than fire
Laid low their towers and houses frail
The dwarves they heard the tramp of doom
They fled their hall to dying fall
Beneath his feet, beneath the moon
To win our harps of gold from him!
