Ballad of Bilbo Baggins Songtext
von Leonard Nimoy

In the middle of the earth, in the land of the Shire
There′s a brave little hobbit whom we all admire
With his long wooden pipe, fuzzy woolly toes
Lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him.
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
Only three feet tall,
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folk you know
They′re never in a hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone.
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
On a big adventure to the caves below
To help some dwarves get back their gold
That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
Only three feet tall,
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all


Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled the trolls!
He riddled with Gollum!
The magic ring he stole!
He was chased by wolves,
Lost in the forest,
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls.
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
Only three feet tall,
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
Now he′s back in his home in the land of the Shire,
That brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
Just a-sittin′ on a treasure of silver and gold,
A-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
Only three feet tall,
Bilbo, Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all
