lyrics

I woke up this morning with only tea and cakes on my mind,
I didn't expect to be starving, counting hours till I might find a small fruit.
To be thrown at me,
Aragorn, how can this be,
A ranger so smart as yourself,
But you don't know about second breakfast.
R2
How can you go on a trek without a feast on hand,
If you're going on a journey with a pack of hobbits, you ought to understand our eating habits,
I've only had one breakfast yet,
But you insist to go on, you're not letting up.
R1
Cos you don't know about elevensies or luncheon,
even when I'm flying from orcs, I'm hoping for tea on the lawn,
When I get a gash on my head, all I want's some dinner,
Even when the quest's hardly begun,
I just want some supper after this long run.
I just want some supper after this long run.
R2
I've only had one breakfast yet,
you insist to go on, you're not letting up.
It's the Fourth Age, get up with the times,
So can't we make a fire, wipe off this grime,
It's the Fourth Age, get up with the times,
So can't we make a fire and have some stew?
R2
I've only had two breakfasts yet,
you insist to go on, you're not letting up.
I just want some dinner or supper.
But haven't we the time for a midnight snack or a nightcap?
