Most hobbits don’t wear socks, but there is a small group of rascals calling themselves such. Here is a song for them adventurous Socks!
Best sung to the tune of House of Fun by Madness, this is a song stunt-written during the 2013 Second Breakfast party, hosted by the Socks. Us Badgers were there, somehow we got word that one of the Socks hobbits really liked this tune, and we had it in our songbook already.
The problem? We didn’t have any lyrics. Enter 25 minutes of forced emergency rhyming, desperately trying to keep up with the wicked and wild line changes of the song. The result is below.
Being very much a song written for those rascally sock hobbits, it likely won’t make sense for anyone not knowing them. I don’t think the Socks mind, though. Enjoy! Roll the sausage!
House of fun – MadnessGrand Socks Song
Hullo hullo
Time ter run around
It’s Thursday night
with lots of fun
Just yer leave the hat
and work with us
Unless yer Woot
he will make a mess
Let’s party on
we will dance-all-night long
Lots of breakfast poems
that lead to a song
A sausage and coffe
limericks
and grand merry dancing
party tricks
Welcome to the House of Socks
just don’t wear a hat
Welcome to the House of Socks
Welcome to the Scootish home
with haggis on the plate
Welcome to the House of
N-n-n-n–n-n-no no Socks
I have no more rhymes
A song too long
for all these party times
So let’s go on
and have our grand fun
and sing along
to this silly song
Welcome to the House of Socks
just don’t wear a hat
Welcome to the Scootish home
With haggis on the plate
Welcome to the House of Socks
Let’s get it on
a time of Socks
Hat or no hat
off to Stock
Run across the Shire
don’t fall into the mire
Cross all of our bounds
with a woolly wire
Hey hullo
got ter play the song
With the hats and Socks and friends around
all night long
And lots of coffe mugs
and there’s fizzers too
So come
Roll a sausage through
Well hello Woot
Tinsella too
And Taigeis will start
the game anew
Welcome to the House of Socks
just don’t wear a hat
Welcome to the House of Socks
Welcome to the Scootish home
with haggis on the plate
Welcome to the House of Socks
