Blunt the Knives is the fourth soundtrack of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012).

This song originally appears in The Hobbit. The Dwarves sing this when Bilbo Baggins warns them not to break his utensils, at Bag End during their dining.

Lyrics[]

"Can you not do that? You blunt them!"

Ooooh! You hear that lads?
He said we'll blunt the knives!

Blunt the knives, bend the forks
Smash the bottles and burn the corks
Chip the glasses and crack the plates
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!

Cut the cloth, tread on the fat
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat
Pour the milk on the pantry floor
Splash the wine on every door!

Dump the crocks in a boiling bowls
Pound them up with a thumping pole
When you're finished if they are whole
Send them down the hall to roll!"

Original lyrics[]

Chip the glasses and crack the plates!

Blunt the knives and bend the forks!

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates-

Smash the bottles and burn the corks!

Cut the cloth, tread on the fat!

Pour the milk on the pantry floor!

Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!

Splash the wine on every door!

Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl;

Pound them up with a thumping pole;

And when you've finished, if any are whole,

Send them down the hall to roll!

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!

So, carefully! carefully with the plates!
