[Verse 1] Down by the Brandywine Past the mill’s wheel Merry’s got a basket that he keeps real sealed Says “Cousin Keep walking And don’t you look” But he’s grinning like a he seen some things, Wonder what he took [Chorus] Meriadoc’s magic mushrooms Growing where the fireflies dance One small bite and the sky feels closer Feet start twitching Can’t help but dance Pass that plate around the table Laugh lines deep as the furrowed fields Meriadoc’s magic mushrooms Best kept secret the Shire yields (hey!) [Verse 2] Pippin takes a nibble Then he takes four more Starts calling every ale-mug “my trusty warhorse” Sam swears the sunflowers wink as they sway Frodo writes a song then forgets halfway [Chorus] Meriadoc’s magic mushrooms Growing where the fireflies dance One small bite and the moon feels closer Feet start twitching Can’t help but prance Pass that plate around the table Laugh lines deep as the furrowed fields Meriadoc’s magic mushrooms Best kept secret the Shire yields (oh ho!) [Bridge] Sober in the morning Hobbits all sore Whose boots on the roof? Who locked the door? Merry just whistles Pockets full of spores Says “Next harvest Friends… we’ll pick some more” [Chorus] Meriadoc’s magic mushrooms Growing where the fireflies dance One small bite and the moon feels closer Feet start twitching Can’t help but prance Pass that plate around the table Sing ’til every lantern’s out Meriadoc’s magic mushrooms Shire-born mischief That’s what it’s about (hey!)
