The Strollers' Waltz
One day in the Shire I'll never forget
A band of musicians out playing I met
They belted out songs and spread joy on their way
The Songburrow Strollers are playing today
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum fall-de-dol doodle-dum
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum lidy-I-dee
I sat down and listened a minute or three
But soon I felt something itching in me
My legs said "Oh dear, let us dance if we may"
"The Songburrow Strollers are playing today"
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum fall-de-dol doodle-dum
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum lidy-I-dee
I stood up and shuffled my feet on the ground
I soon found the rhythm and swayed to the sound
The players all smiled to me and said "Okay"
"Us Songburrow Strollers are playing today"
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum fall-de-dol doodle-dum
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum lidy-I-dee
They played reels and waltzes and a merry old jig
The audience grew and it soon got quite big
At the back we heard shouts, "Get out of our way"
"The Songburrow Strollers are playing today"
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum fall-de-dol doodle-dum
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum lidy-I-dee
Come all merry hobbits and dance to our tune
We'll play and be jolly here under the moon
The night is for dancing but so is the day
The Songburrow Strollers are playing today
Sing fall-de-dol doodle-dum fall-de-dol doodle-dum
Fall-de-dol doodle-dum lidy-I-dee
