The Goodies, season 3 lyrics

Take a little good advice

Take a trip to paradise

It's really not too hard to find

If you've got it in you mind.

It's whatever turns you on.......

Goodies.........Goodies.........

It's anything you want it to be

A record or an O.B.E.

A circus or a seaside pier

We make it happen here

Fun for all the family......

Goodies........Goodies........

Goodies, goody goody yum yum

Ahhh.

The Road goes ever on and on

Following is my own (very minor!) adaptation of J.R.R.Tolkien's walking poem which I sing to my sons at night. This poem appears in various forms both in The Hobbit and in LOTR. I have not yet committed to memory the version sung by Frodo in the chapter "Three Is Company" — it's stanzas are a different format to those sung/spoken by Bilbo, and do not fit easily to the tune sung by Bilbo in the LOTR movie, nor to the tune sung by The Starlit Jewel which you can find on youtube. I might fiddle with them one day and create my own tune to use as a chorus or a coda.

Anyway, here it is. I have taken both of the versions which Bilbo recites in LOTR and put the stanzas from The Hobbit in the middle. I like how it ends with "My evening-rest and sleep to meet". The boys may get the hint one day...

Dos Equis (Do Ray Me parody)

This is the original version from the 1980s/1990s. It's difficult to find it online today, and definitely not, the hack-job that Homer butchered on The Simpsons...

Dos Equis, a Mexican beer

Ray, the man I buy it from

Me, a guy, I buy beer for

Far, a long way to the bar

So, I think I'll have a beer

La, lalalalalala!

Tea?

No thanks, I'll have a beer

And that brings us back to....
