It is a time of hobbit birthdays! So here is a song for all them grand birthday hobbits! Happy hobbit day!
Best sung to the tune of "Dandelion Wine" by Blackmore's Night, this one was written for the Harvest Apple Celebration in the Appledores on Laurelin tonight. Lots of hobbits there, and even a few friendly dwarves, came ter pick apples, drink cider and have a grand and lovely birthday party.
Of course, there are many grand hobbits who have their birthday today: Masters Bilbo and Frodo most notably, perhaps, but also me in-game friend Sevelda.
Else, these weeks, master Dinkum celebrates his birthday. Andy Brockhouse too, on Laurelin his birthday is celebrated in September. And the Bramblebury Gazette has its anniversary in September too! Yay!
The song tries to be a rather general birthday song for hobbits, hopefully good for many parties to come. The sweet melody of the Blackmore's Night original makes for a lovely sing-along tune. So, er, sing along to the chorus now: "So here we are, dear old friend, it is yer birthday again"

Grand Birthday Song
Soft sounds from the countryside, like whispers through the trees Warm laughter and merriment, just like a summer breeze Come witness the Party Tree, dressed with candles and signs Yer friends are here fer yer birthday, them brought both ales and wines
So here we are, dear old friend, it is yer birthday again And we'll drink to yer health all day long We'll share a pie, maybe two And we'll have fun all night through Laughter and joy here with yer, singing this song
Time now fer yer birthday meal, the first of many tonight Pork, crackling and apple sauce, with taters roasted right Steamed pudding with butterscotch, a slice of blueberry pie Pour the brandy and cider, and wave the food goodbye
So here we are, dear old friend, it is yer birthday again And we will drink to yer health all day long We'll share a pie, maybe two And we'll have fun all night through Laughter and joy here with yer, singing this song
Bards take to the party stage, their songs are lively and loud Dance now with yer chosen one, whose warm smile makes yer proud The sky lights up with fireworks, rockets launched from The Hill One day older yer may be, but here the time stands still
So here we are, dear old friend, it is yer birthday again And we will drink to yer health all day long We'll share a pie, maybe two And we'll have fun all night through Laughter and joy here with yer, singing this song
So here we are, dear old friend, it is yer birthday again And we will drink to yer health all day long We'll share a pie, maybe two And we'll have fun all night through Laughter and joy here with yer, singing this song
