A parody of 'The Night That Paddy Murphy Died' about a hobbit. I guess, hobbits like to have wakes as much as the Irish? The song was written by Nagian named Nick Smith.

Lyrics
The Night that Fatty Bolger Died words by Nick Smith, music traditional Oh the night that Fatty Bolger died is a night I'll never forget Merry and Pippin got roarin' drunk, and they're still not sober yet; As long as that bottle was passed around every hobbit was feelin' gay Then Gandalf came with the pipe weed, some smoke rings for to make (chorus) Oh that's how they showed their respect for Fatty Bolger That's how they showed their honor and their pride; They said "There's still more food for us!" and winked at one another Oh every drink in the place was full the night that Fatty died Now the Sackville-Bagginses were grabbin all his things While Bilbo sat with Gandalf a-blowin' some smoke rings Merry and Pippin where running with some vegetables they stole They put the veggies on the corpse to keep those mushrooms cold About three o'clock in the morning after emptyin' the jug Frodo rolled up the ice box lid to see poor Fatty's mug We stopped the clock so Sam's old Gaffer couldn't tell the time And at a quarter after three we argued it was nine At eight o'clock in the mornin' the procession left the house And everyone but poor old Samwise Gamgee was out soused They stopped a while in Bywater at the old Green Dragon Inn Well they staggered in at eleven o'clock and didn't come out till ten Well someone asked old Brandybuck if anyone had died Ted says he, "I'm not quite sure, I just came for the ride." They started out for the graveyard all holy and sublime But found out when they’d got there, they'd left the corpse behind!
