A/N: Yet another song I found whilst avoiding working on the other, longer, harder-to-alter ones. Um. The hardest bit was finding hobbit names that wouldn't be extremely and noticabely disrupting canon. Withoutmy beta, Luth, who owns my first born or something of equally little value, that would have taken far longer than it did. So.
To answer a few questions posed in reviews:
I use the spellings I find in the lyrics. I'm working harder to get versions I know are reliable, but for things like 'la kayim,' I go with the way the song's original poster spelled it.
And I will get to the other songs. Eventually. This is sort of my... thing to do if I'm already dead and rotting from boredom. Because I have to go find the notebook every time, and that's an interesting adventure in and of itself. Add that to school work and other stress-causers, and you'll get the reason I haven't updated in... Wow. Nearly two years? That can't be right... Anyway.
Quotation marks means they're talking. Everything else is, obviously, sung.
Disclaimer: I own neither FotR nor LotR. I'm also a high school senior who is jobless. So you can imagine how little else I own too.

"Hilda, I have such news for you."
Remember Frodo, that crazy Baggins?
Remember at the party
When Bilbo disappeared
And Samwise started dancing
With Cotton's daughter Rose?
Well, I just heard
That Frodo's been arrested, in Buckland
Others:
No!
Lobelia:
Yes!
Woman:
"Rosamunda, Rosamunda… Wait 'til I tell you..."
Remember Frodo, that crazy Baggins?
Remember at the party
He danced with Cotton's Rose
Well, I just heard
That Rose's been arrested, in Buckland
Others:
No, terrible, terrible
Woman:
"Pearl..."
Do you remember Frodo
That Baggins from Bag End?
Remember how he acted
When Samwise danced with Rose?
Well, I just heard
That Sam has been arrested
For dancing at the party
Others:
No!
Woman:
In Buckland!
Tom:
"Odo… Odo..."
Remember Frodo, with all his strange ideas?
Remember Bilbo's party?
Where Gaffer danced with Ruby
Well, I just heard
That Gaffer's been arrested
And Ruby's gone to Buckland!
Others:
No!
Tom:
Eru forbid
Others:
She didn't
Tom:
She did
Ponto:
"Terrible news... Terrible..."
Remember Bilbo
Who started all the trouble
Well, I just heard from someone who should know
That Ruby's been arrested
And Rose's gone to Buckland
Samwise studies dancing
And Gaffer's acting strange
Pippin has the measels
And Merry has the mumps
Lobelia:
And that's what comes from Bilbo's crazy parties!
