Yer may have noticed that rather a lot of me tunes have a slight food theme going. Them prove rather popular in the Shire. So here is the Grand Food Song! Even all them longshanks at this year's Weatherstock concert liked this one.
Best sung to the tune of Home Again by them most talented lads and lasses in Blackmore's night. Me own version is rather more aimed toward solid hobbity interests, namely much in the way of hearty solid food. The song is sure ter have them crowds sing along at the Green Dragon. Fast followed by comments of "but now I am hungry...".
Enjoy them lyrics!
Grand Food Song
Once I met an old man Looking quite content Eating fish and taters stewed with dill I went over to him He smiled at me and said 'Listen to me story if you will'
Summer days are rainy, winter days are cold Still the Shire life is good Happy days await you, even when your old If you eat your favourite food
Sweet and crunchy biscuits, mushroom pies with cheese Golden crispy fish with mushy peas Sausages and bacon, roasted rack of lamb Fresh-baked loaves of bread with butter and jam Tea beside the fire, honey from the bees Eat it up and start all over if you please
Look at all the big folk They run around all day Our hobbit ways must seem quite strange indeed We enjoy the calm life But when it's time to eat We perform our most impressive deeds
Summer days are rainy, winter days are cold Still the Shire life is good Happy days await you, even when your old If you eat your favourite food
Sweet and crunchy biscuits, mushroom pies with cheese Golden crispy fish with mushy peas Sausages and bacon, roasted rack of lamb Fresh-baked loaves of bread with butter and jam Tea beside the fire, honey from the bees Eat it up and start all over if you please
Lalalalalala lalalalala Eat it up and start all over if you please
Life is never easy Even in the Shire Although we have it better than the rest All the things we treasure Are here for us today A hobbit's life is well and truly blessed
Summer days are rainy, winter days are cold Still the Shire life is good Happy days await you, even when your old If you eat your favourite food
Sweet and crunchy biscuits, mushroom pies with cheese Golden crispy fish with mushy peas Sausages and bacon, roasted rack of lamb Fresh-baked loaves of bread with butter and jam Tea beside the fire, honey from the bees Eat it up and start all over if you please Lalalalalala lalalalala Eat it up and start all over if you please Lalalalalala lalalalala Eat it up and start all over if you please Lalalalalala lalalalala Eat it up and start all over if you please Lalalalalala lalalalala Eat it up and start all over if you please
