Living in the Shire is usually grand good fun, but there are days when even hobbits are grumpy and complaining. The cure is luckily a simple one, bringing sunshine and joy and laughter in seconds!
First performed at the Bird and Baby inn yesterday (hence the picture), and best sung to Gordon Lightfoot's Unsettled Ways, this is another attempt at writing song lyrics in way too little time. This one took 35 minutes. I quite needed biscuits and tea afterwards.

Some say
Some say that it rains all the time The weather is bad in this land of mine They all complain, that it sure rains all the time
Some say that the music's too loud That playing the lute, won't make ma say she's proud They all complain, the music is too loud
Sometimes I feel lonely, when I hear of bad things only But I always feel much better With biscuits and a mug of sweet hot tea
Some say that the things that I do Are worse than the acts, of pesky old shrews They all complain, of the silly things I do
Sometimes I feel lonely, when I hear of bad things only But I always feel much better With biscuits and a mug of sweet hot tea
Some say that it rains all the time That nothing is good in this land of mine I say to them, have a biscuit and be fine I say to them, have a biscuit and be fine
