Oh, what are you doing
And where are you going?
Your ponies need shoeing
The river is flowing!
Oh, tra-la-la-lally
Here down in the valley, ha! ha!

Oh, where are you going
With beards all a-wagging?
No knowing, no knowing
What brings Mr. Baggins
And Balin and Dwalin
In June? in the valley, ha! ha!

Oh, 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
Tra-lil-lil-lil-lolly, ha! ha!

Oh, what are you doing
And where are you going?
Your ponies need shoeing
The river is flowing!
Oh, tra-la-la-lally
Here down in the valley, ha! ha!
