For our 11th yule calendar surprise, we have a song! If you read the Shire forecast for this season, you might already know that nannies are on the prowl for dirty little hobbit youngsters who try to dodge their yule baths. Miss Almi (who is also posing in the yule calendar number pictures this year) is very fond of baths and giving them to each and everyone before yule, and afterwards too. If you are not fond of baths any time of the year, this song might warm you up for running away from baths!
Run, run hobbits
Just before yuletide, there’s one real nightmare
Run, run, hobbits, it’s the yule bath time again
Run, run hobbits, dodge the yule bath and hide
Before Almi comes and scrubs away all the grime
Run, run, hobbits, do escape the yule bath in good time
If yer see miss Almi, that old nanny, lover of baths
Better put some distance between yer and her quite fast
Cause otherwise ye’ll be doing the most wet water dance
Run, run, hobbits, miss Almi is coming to town
Wielding the largest brush and a pink bathing gown
Run, run, hobbits, now miss Almi’s on the prowl
Run, run, hobbits, try keep yerself safe and dry
Beware the baths traps, miss Almi is ever so sly
Run, run, hobbits, better flee as fast as if yer could fly!
She’ll give yer a proper scrubbing, from head to toes
Cover you in soap, bubbles coming out of yer nose
And repeat it all, when yer think it cannot get worse
Run, run, hobbits, ‘tis the season be get a scrub
Do yer very best now, don’t end in that large bath tub
Run, run, hobbits, just don’t run out of yer luck!
This song is best sung to a very similar song about running:
Chuck Berry - Run Rudolph Run
