Tripe, in this version of the song, means babble
------------------------------------
It's eleven o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in.
There's a ranger sittin' next to me
looking rough with a beard on his chin.
He is dirty and he doesn't smell too nice.
I try hard to scoot away,
but he grabbed on my arm, and he raised the alarm
that I should get out of this place.
la la la dede da, la la, de de da, da dum
CHORUS
Riders are comin' round tonight, they're lookin' for one thing
A Hobbit has it with him now, oh yes he's got the one ring!
Four Halflings walk into the pony
Not a regular sight to see
One of them looks very warily
at the man sittin' right next to me
The Ranger puts up his hood and then he lights up his pipe
and he puffs away wearily
as we listen to the halfling's tripe
oh la la la dede da, la la, dede da, da dum
One Hobbit gets up and sits at the bar
with his trusty pint in his hand
He mentions someone called Baggins, who is his second cousin
One hobbit runs fast as he can
And the running hobbit went flailing
and as he fell to the floor
He disappeared from all mortal sight
and the ranger suddenly swore
CHORUS
Riders are comin' round tonight, they're lookin' for one thing
A Hobbit has it with him now, oh yes he's got the one ring!
The man next to me stands up and looks around
Then finally sees somethin' right
He grabs a figure from under a table
and pushes it up a stair flight
And that Ranger ,I think, was very wise
When he said to get out of this town
I look round' the bar and think where the wraiths are
and decide I should do what he advised.
oh la la la dede da, la la, dede da, da dum
CHORUS
Riders are comin' round tonight, they're lookin' for one thing
A Hobbit has it with him now, oh yes he's got the one ring
