Lyrics

[00:01.78] Bilbo:Can,can you not do that, you'll cut them!
[00:05.06] Bofur:Did you hear that, lads? He said we would blunt the knives
[00:09.61] Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
[00:12.25] Smash the bottles and burn the corks!
[00:14.64] Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
[00:17.91] That's what Bilbo Baggins hates-
[00:20.11] Cut the cloth and tread on the fat!
[00:22.03] Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!
[00:23.90] Pour the milk on the pantry floor!
[00:27.65] Splash the wine on every door!
[00:29.75] Dump the crocks in a boiling bawl;
[00:31.51] Pound them up with a thumping pole;
[00:33.34] And when you've finished, if any are whole,
[00:38.50] Send them down the hall to roll !
[00:41.11] ......
[00:48.15] That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
