By Akelay Shrubland Who let the shrews out?! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Who let the shrews out?! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Who let the shrews out?! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Who let the shrews out?! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! (spoken) A respected gardener lives near the party tree. His name is known through the Shire, he's Gaffer Gamgee. He lives a happy life, just one problem has he Shrews running through his garden, and they are fast, whee! (Sung) One sunny day he found the solution Large shrew traps that he equipped with cheese That's his idea against shrew pollution Dispensed them under the bushes and trees Who let the shrews out?! ... When a shrew came for the cheese You heared a squeek and snap The happy days for shrews were over All were caught in Gaffer's traps Every day he went checking traps then Put the caught shrews into a large cage One day coming home the cage door was open Shrews running around, and he roared in rage: Who let the shrews out?! ... Shrews running everywhere, he could not believe it Why were they running wild, and who was to blame for this? Shrews in his pantry eating all his storage Bacon and pies were gone, and sausages almost done Through the bed, on the beautiful couch On the table, and also there under the chairs Shrews where free, everywhere They were hunting themselves through the flowery pots On the boards, in the bowls And even up high on the mantlepiece In his clothes, through his books Angry he ranted and screamed and he shrieked: Who let the shrews out?! ... Some information about the artist Miss Akelay was one of the first to move into Bramblebury and the longest-staying resident who always kept paying her upkeep! She is very famous for her catfish cakes and winner of the pie-baking competition of 2012. Miss Akelay got the idea for this song when someone commented on the squeaky sound of the pibgorn. It was first performed by the Bramblebury-band-with-no-fixed-name at the base of a huge shrew statue in the garden of Miss Daysi at her burrow-warming party. |
