"Over the River and Through the Woods."
Through the Old Forest and past the falls, To Bombadil's house we go! For he knows the way To spend every day Telling tales so merry-o!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls, Escaping old Willow! For Tom he knows Where danger grows As he travels to and fro!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls, In a swift-ending day; Goldberry sings Songs fit for kings Hurray for the rondelay!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls, Trot fast and do not stray! Food will surround And drink abound To appetite give way!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls, And over the threshold's slate, All fear will go In fire's rich glow And Tom will put us straight!
Through the Old Forest and past the falls, Now Goldberry fair we spy! Hurray that we've done, Since we've lost the sun! Hurray for the berry pie!
