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!

#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#

#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:#

#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:#

((The idea for this song came from Peppy, the melody for it is the "Who Let The Dogs Out" version by the Baha Men. One part of it is spoken, so I leave the ## to mark the sung parts.))
