Bilbo: One thing you must always remember, Frodo, my boy…
Look for the Hobbit Shire-ties
Those simple Hobbit Shire-ties
They take away your troubles and your strife
I mean the Hobbit Shire-ties
They help a person rest at ease
Those blessed Hobbit Shire-ties of life

Wherever I wander
Whenever I roam
I’ve never been fonder
Of my big home
The birds are singing in the trees
To make some music just for me
And in the splendor of May and June
The flowers here will be soon in bloom
Then you can pluck a few
The Hobbit Shire-ties of life will come to you
They’ll come to you

Look for the Hobbit Shire-ties
Those simple Hobbit Shire-ties
They take away your troubles and your strife
I mean the Hobbit Shire-ties
They’re Mother Nature’s recipes
That bring about the blessed-ties of life

Now when you pick your hand through
For a prickly pear
But your poor hand gets pricked too
Next time, beware
But if you pick them for your wife
Don’t use the hand, why, use the knife
Cuz every hobbit knows that every wife
Will take a pear from the prick of a knife
Now, is all of this getting through?
The Hobbit Shire-ties of life will come to you
They’ll come to you

Now just try to relax, Frodo, cool off
Rest your feet in my backyard
Because let me tell you, lad,
If you act like the ant acts
You work too hard
And don’t waste your time looking around
For something you want that won’t be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along with thinking about it
I’ll tell you something true
The Hobbit Shire-ties will come to you
They’ll come to you

Bilbo and Frodo: Look for the Hobbit Shire-ties
Those simple Hobbit Shire-ties
They take away your troubles and your strife
I mean the Hobbit Shire-ties
They help a person rest at ease
Those blessed Hobbit Shire-ties of life
Those blessed Hobbit Shire-ties of life!
