Grand Fishing Song
Aah, went out fishing today
Hoped to catch me my prey
Eat it up without delay, oh yay
Aah, brought me pole to the lake
Tried to stay all awake
Eating fine fresh-baked cake, oh yay
Perch and dace were jumping around
So I snuck to the shore without making a sound
Threw me lure in the waters deep
Then I tried me best not to fall asleep
Aah, as the sun shone on me
I wanted many mugs of tea
And me stomach did agree, oh yay
Aah, after many a meal
So much better I did feel
Cast me pole with newfound zeal, oh yay oh yay oh yay
Perch and dace were jumping around
So I snuck to the shore without making a sound
Threw me lure in the waters deep
Then I tried me best not to fall asleep
But no fish bit on me lure, and soon I snoozed down by the shore
Pleasant dreams of biscuits sweet, the kind of which I soon would eat
Happy dreams that came to an end
When me pole started shake and creak and bend
Aah, had a fish on the hook
Wilder than a young Took
Pulling me towards the water, me legs shook
Aah, I did curse and yell
But the fish said farewell
In the water I fell, oh nay
I splashed around and screamed fer help
Then I felt a tug and I heard a yelp
A hobbit laughed to my chagrin
Used me very own pole to reel me in
