There and Back Again

[Verse 1] In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit Bilbo Baggins, content and quiet Until a wizard came knocking one day With dwarves and a quest that would not delay [Chorus] There and back again, a hobbit's tale Through forests dark and mountains pale Dragons, trolls, and rings of gold An adventure grand, both new and old [Verse 2] Thirteen dwarves and a burglar small Set out to reclaim Erebor's hall Over hills and under trees they tread Facing dangers that fill hearts with dread [Bridge 1] Trolls turned to stone by dawn's first light Rivendell's beauty, a welcome sight Goblins in caves, riddles in the dark A ring of power leaves its mark [Chorus] There and back again, a hobbit's tale Through forests dark and mountains pale Dragons, trolls, and rings of gold An adventure grand, both new and old [Verse 3] Mirkwood's shadows, spiders spin Barrels down rivers, to Lake-town they win The Lonely Mountain looms ahead Where Smaug the dragon makes his bed [Bridge 2] Bilbo sneaks in, a thief so bold Faces the dragon on mountains of gold The arrow flies from Bard's black bow The dragon falls, its fire low The Battle of Five Armies rages on Thorin redeemed before he's gone [Chorus] There and back again, a hobbit's tale Through forests dark and mountains pale Dragons, trolls, and rings of gold An adventure grand, both new and old [Verse 4] But greed takes hold of Thorin's heart As armies gather, war to start Elves and men and dwarves unite Against the goblins in the fight [Final Chorus] There and back again, a hobbit's tale Through forests dark and mountains pale Dragons, trolls, and rings of gold An adventure grand, both new and old There and back again!
