Elves Greeting Song
The song that the elves of Rivendell sang as Bilbo and the dwarves arrived at Rivendell.
- O! What are you doing,
- And where are you going?
- Your ponies need shoeing!
- The river is flowing
- O! tra-la-la-lally
- here down in the valley!
- O! What are you seeking,
- And where are you making?
- The faggots are reeking.
- The bannocks are baking!
- O! trill-lil-lil-lolly
- the valley is jolly,
- ha! ha!
- O! Where are you going,
- With breards all a-wagging?
- No knowing, no knowing
- What brings Mister Baggins
- And Balin and Dwalin
- down into the valley
- In June
- ha! ha!
- O! Will you be staying,
- Or will you be flying?
- Your ponies are straying!
- The daylight is dying!
- To fly would be folly,
- To stay would be jolly
- And listen and hark
- Till the end of dark
- to our tune
- ha! ha!
