Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o<br>		     
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o</p>	       
											       
And in that hole there was a home, a stout home, a Hobbit home<br>
With the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now in that home there was a den, a stout den, a Hobbit's den<br>
With the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now in that den there was a desk, a stout desk, a Hobbit's desk<br>
With the desk in the den<br>
And the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now at that desk there was a chair, a stout chair, a Hobbit's chair<br>
With the chair at the desk<br>
And the desk in the den<br>
And the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now on that chair there was a Baggins, a stout Baggins, a Hobbit Baggins<br>
With the Baggins on the chair<br>
And the chair at the desk<br>
And the desk in the den<br>
And the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now on that Baggins there was a vest, a stout vest, a Hobbit's vest<br>
With the vest on the Baggins<br>
And the Baggins on the chair<br>
And the chair at the desk<br>
And the desk in the den<br>
And the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now on that vest there was a pocket, a stout pocket, a Hobbit's pocket<br>
With the pocket on the vest<br>
And the vest on the Baggins<br>
And the Baggins on the chair<br>
And the chair at the desk<br>
And the desk in the den<br>
And the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now in that pocket there was a chain, a stout chain, a Hobbit's chain<br>
With chain in the pocket<br>
And the pocket on the vest<br>
And the vest on the Baggins<br>
And the Baggins on the chair<br>
And the chair at the desk<br>
And the desk in the den<br>
And the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now on that chain there was a Ring, a gold Ring, a magic Ring<br>
With the Ring on the chain<br>
And chain in the pocket<br>
And the pocket on the vest<br>
And the vest on the Baggins<br>
And the Baggins on the chair<br>
And the chair at the desk<br>
And the desk in the den<br>
And the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Now on that Ring there were some words, some old words, some Elvish words<br>
With the words on the Ring<br>
And the Ring on the chain<br>
And chain in the pocket<br>
And the pocket on the vest<br>
And the vest on the Baggins<br>
And the Baggins on the chair<br>
And the chair at the desk<br>
And the desk in the den<br>
And the den in the home<br>
And the home in the hole<br>
And the hole down in the Shire-o.</p>

Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o<br>		     
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o<br>	       
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o<br>		     
Hey Ho the Hobbit hole, the hole down in the Shire-o</p>
