Hoy, Hullo hobbits everywhere 
Have yer heard the news? 
It's time ter put yer elf-boots on 
And stomp on pesky shrews! 

It's time ter race yer ponies 
And get lost in the maze! 
Time ter wear a silly hat 
That's all the latest craze! 

For Spring is here! Yes Spring is here!
That's right (although it's late)
Spring is here! Aye! Spring is here!
And Summer's at the gate.

It's time ter gather flowers
For some lankyshanks in Bree
Time ter line the pies up
And polish 'em off with glee!

Time to confuse poor lost elves
Time to rescue chicks!
Time ter scold tween hobbits
Fer playing silly tricks.

For Spring is here! Yes Spring is here!
That's right (although it's late)
Spring is here! Aye! Spring is here!
And Summer's at the gate.

So get those toes a twinkling
And learn a step or two;
In Thorin's Hall, in Duillond
Them dancers wait fer you!

For Spring is here! Yes Spring is here!
That's right (although it's late)
Spring is here! Aye! Spring is here!
And Summer's at the gate!
