Back in my days when The Hobbit used to be a book and not a trilogy, this one song was my second most favorite song after Misty Mountains Cold. I and my twin cousins would sing it whenever someone came to our house.
If you want to listen to the song as I sang it, listen to this one below. It's from the 1977 Hobbit motion-picture.
I really missed this scene in the new movie, where I was hoping for Glorfindel or Elrond's twins to sing the song.
I really hated the way this song wasn't included in The Hobbit Trilogy. As a cure however, we three still sing it remembering the old times.
Ah! The good times: in those days we would be sitting on high branches with our little feet dangling as we three would be singing elvish songs in our prepubescent voices – as merry as elf-children with a heart as clear as glass. Our parents liked being welcomed by song at that .
We made a few changes in the verses but here it is:
Oh, where are you going, and how are you doing? Your tires need airing, the river is flowing! Oh, tra-la-la-lally, here down in the valley. Ha! Ha!
Oh, where are you going, with engines a-running? No knowing, no knowing, what brings our fathers, and uncles and mothers, in June, to us brothers. Ha! Ha!
Oh, will you be staying, or will you be flying? Your gas tank are emptying, the daylight is dying! To fly would be folly, to stay would be jolly. Tri-lil-lil-li-li-lolly. Ha! Ha!
Oh, where are you going, and how are you doing? Your tires need airing, the river is flowing! Oh, tra-la-la-lally, here down in the valley. Ha! Ha!
Our dads would comment on us: "Look at the little elflings singing."
We used to sing many songs together when we were kids. Though sometimes I used to do a bit excessive. I mean . . . this sometimes happened:

Those were the golden days. No one would judge us or comment on our songs, nor would anyone ask us to sing in special occasions. We at that time used to sing not to gain friends and fame, but instead we used to sing because we liked to.
