There's many a Hobbit dance, you know,
Some are fast and some are slow:
There's the Marish Jig and the Buckland Fling,
But I prefer the Springlering.
With a hey diddle diddle and a ring a ding ding
Let's all dance the Springlering!
It's hard to come up with a brand new rhyme
For every different party time,
So I will play, and you can sing,
Then we'll all dance the Springlering.
With a hey diddle diddle and a ring a ding ding
Let's all dance the Springlering!
Hobbits like to eat, they say,
They seem to eat all through the day,
But when they're not eating anything,
Then's the time to dance the Springlering.
With a hey diddle diddle and a ring a ding ding,
Let's all dance the Springlering!
Royalty may not like to dance,
But Hobbits do when they get the chance,
So if ever we're visited by a king,
We'll dance for him the Springlering.
With a hey diddle diddle and a ring a ding ding
Let's all dance the Springlering!
A hobbit is always in the mood
To get tucked into some fattening food,
And when his weskit buttons Ping!
Then it's time to dance the Springlering.
With a hey diddle diddle and a ring a ding ding
Let's all dance the Springlering!
Springlering, Springlering,
It's my favourite dance, the Springlering,
So I will play and I will sing,
And then I'll dance the Springlering.
With a hey diddle diddle and a ring a ding ding
Let's all dance the Springlering!
