[NOTT, SPOKEN]
Halfling again.
Yes, think what that means.
(sung)
I’ll be cooking again, be plain-looking again
With a basket of herbs on each arm
When I’m halfling again, only halfling again
Nice and simple* and no longer green
I’ll be brewing again, home and brewing again
[NOTT]
I can’t wait to be halfling again
[NOTT]
When I’m halfling again, only halfling again
When I’m an outcast and wretch no more
[NOTT]
Oh honey, won't it all be lovely?
I'll wear buttons and braids and I won't be so sharp
Why, I'll walk through that door
I'll be chubby, I'll wear dresses, I'll have my brown hair
It's my prayer to be halfling again
[NOTT]
When I'm halfling again, only halfling again
When the world once more starts making sense
I'll dress up for a change
[JESTER, SPOKEN]
Really? That’d be strange
[NOTT, SPOKEN]
Can I help it if I’m t-t-tense?
[NOTT]
In a house by the woods, I'll sit back sipping wine
Let my early retirement commence
Far from fools made of fur, I'll be back with my fam’ly and relax
[NOTT]
When I'm halfling again
So sweep the dust from my room
Let's let some light in the house
I can feel, I can tell
Someone might break the spell any day now
[NOTT]
Shine up the brass on the door
[NOTT]
Get the dust-pail and broom
[NOTT]
If it all goes as planned
My time may be at hand any day now
Open the shutters and let in some air
[NOTT]
Put these here and put those over there
[NOTT]
Sweep up the years of sadness and tears
And throw them away
[NOTT]
When I’m halfling again, only halfling again
When my boy finally sets me free
Cheeks a-bloomin' again, we're assumin' again
I’ll resume my long lost love for life
I’ll be playin' again, holiday'n again
And I’m prayin' it's ASAP
When I cast off this pall
I’ll stand straight, I’ll walk tall
When I’m all that I was
Thanks to him, thanks to him
Coming closer and closer and closer
Closer and closer and-
We'll be dancing again, we'll be twirling again
We'll be whirling around with such ease
When I’m halfling again, only halfling again
We'll go waltzing those old one-two-three's
We'll be floating again, we'll be gliding again
Stepping, striding, as fine as you please
Like a real halfling does, I'll be all that I was
On that glorious morn' when I’m finally reborn
And I’m totally halfling again!
