to the tune of Welcome to the 60's from Hairspray
by Marc Shaiman and Scott Whittman
Tom Bombadil:
Hey hobbits hey hobbits,
Look around
Old Man Willow's sleeping, now you're safe and sound
Hey hobbits hey hobbits,
Follow me
I know something's in you
That you wanna set free
So let so, go, go of your fears now
Say hello to your brave little heart
Yes, I know that the world's full of tears now,
You gotta get yourself a brand new start

Tom and Fish:
Hey hobbits, welcome to the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh hobbits, welcome to the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go hobbits, go, go, go!

Fish:
Welcome to the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Hey hobbits
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Tom:
Hey hobbits, hey hobbits,
Take my hand

Pippin:
First let's make a pit stop
At the mushroom stand

Tom:
Hey hobbits, hey hobbits,
Take a chance

Merry:
Is it just me, or did those trees
Just start to dance?

Tom:
So let go, go, go of your fears now
Say hello to the light in your eyes
Yes, I know that the world's full of tears now
But you gotta run the race
To win the prize

Tom and Fish:
Hey hobbits, welcome to the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh hobbits, welcome to the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go hobbits, go, go, go!

Fish:
Welcome to the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Hey hobbits
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

They get to Tom Bombadil's house.

Goldberry:
Welcome to the doorstep of my domicile
Shut out the night
And be merry a while!
You should have a bath and then some nice warm food
You see, my husband Tom
Is a real cool dude!

Tom:
Dontcha let nobody
Try to steal your fun
Heed no nightly noises -
They won't hurt no one!

Goldberry:
The future's got a million roads
For you to choose.
So you better rest your feet
Because you don't wear shoes!

The hobbits are sent in the house to rest.

Tom:
And once you're good and rested
And you feel like you
When you've got
Strength anew

Tom and Goldberry:
Step on out!

Tom, Goldberry, Fish:
Hobbits, that's your cue!

Fish:
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

The hobbits emerge from the house, perky and spry.

Pippin:
Hey Merry, hey Frodo,
Look at me!
I'm the bravest hobbit that you ever did see!

Merry:
Hey Pippin, hey Samwise,
Look at us!
Where is there a team
That's half as fabulous!?

Goldberry:
You've let go, go, go of your fears now!
Said hello to this wild, crazy ride
Yes I know that the world's full of tears now -

Tom hugs Goldberry.

Tom:
Tell old Tinuviel to step aside!

Tom, Goldberry, and Fish:
You're always welcome in the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh
Oh you're always welcome in the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, hobbits, go, go, go!

Fish:

Welcome to the forest
Open the door
For the hobbits with more,
They're a team...
Hobbits, go, go, go!

Tom, Goldberry, and Fish:
You're always welcome in the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh
Oh you're always welcome in the forest
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go, hobbits, go, go, go!
Hey hobbits welcome to the forest

Tom:
Welcome to the "F," to the "O,"
To the "R,"; "E," "est!"

Fish:
Hey hobbits welcome to the forest!

Goldberry riffs.

Tom, Goldberry, and Fish:
Hey hobbits welcome to the forest!

Tom riffs.

Tom, Goldberry, and Fish:
Welcome to the forest
Go hobbits go, go, go!

Tom and Goldberry:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Go hobbits, go, go, go!!
