Act 1 Scene 8 Oodles and oodles of Hobbits are gathered around the party tree. The biggest party the Shire has ever seen is taking place. Bilbo Baggins steps up to a little podium and begins his farewell speech. At the end of the speech he breaks into song: (sung to IT'S MY PARTY)
Nobody knows where my journey took me I found it with a rhyme My peers want me to give it up When It’s to be mine
It's my party, and I'll hide if I want to Hide if I want to, hide if I want to You would hide too if it happened to you
Rememberin’ my adventures, keep thinking' all night To Rivendell for a while 'Till I’m back to being me No reason to stay in my smial
It's my party, and I'll hide if I want to Hide if I want to, hide if I want to You would hide too if it happened to you
------ LEAD BREAK ------
Frodo and Gandalf just walked through the door Like a Hobbit with his Wizard-ing Oh what a birthday surprise Frodo’s wearin' my ring
It's my party, and I'll hide if I want to Hide if I want to, hide if I want to You would hide too if it happened to you

And with a flash and a puff of smoke Bilbo vanished. Never to be seen by any of The Shire residents at Bag End again. But there was at least two people at the party that were wise to Bilbo's game, and one them, Gandalf quickly met up with Bilbo before his final departure. Bag End's common room lit by a small fire within the hearth is where we now see Gandalf and Bilbo, as Bilbo prepares to leave for Rivendel.

Gandalf and Bilbo discuss his decision to leave the shire and the ring behind... (sung to the tune "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee)
Bilbo: Don’t go taking my ring! Gandalf: I couldn’t if I tried! Bilbo: Gandalf, it makes me restless… Gandalf: I know you’re that kind! Bilbo: Don’t go changing my plans! Gandalf: They’ll take the weight off of you! Bilbo: Yes Gandalf, I need the break! Gandalf: Bilbo, I know you do!
Chorus: Ooo-ooo Nobody knows it! (Nobody kno-o-ows)
Bilbo: : Right from the start Gandalf: You played the part
Chorus: Ooo-ooo You never showed it! (Never sho-o-owed)
Bilbo: Worn close to my heart… Gandalf: Kept hidden, that’s smart!
Together: Ooo-ooo-ooo Close to my hear-r-rt
Bilbo: Don’t go taking my ring! Gandalf: You MUST leave it behind! Bilbo: Gandalf, I still need it! Gandalf: Bilbo, don’t be so blind! Bilbo: I can’t be changing my plans? Gandalf: No you still need to go! Bilbo: Then to Rivendel I bow! Gandalf: Yes it’s Frodo’s turn now!
Chorus: Ooo-ooo Nobody knows it! (Nobody kno-o-ows)
Bilbo: Right from the start Gandalf: You played the part
Chorus: Ooo-ooo You never showed it! (Never sho-o-owed)
Bilbo: Worn close to my heart… Gandalf: Kept hidden, that’s smart!
Together: Ooo-ooo-ooo It’s broken my hear-r-rt

Bilbo is finally convinced by Gandalf to leave the Ring to Frodo. After packing all his gear Bilbo opens the front door and heads out into the evening. Gandalf wishes his old friend a safe journey and Bilbo walks down the path singing his traveling song:

Act 1 Scene 10 Bilbo opens up his round Hobbit door and steps out. He takes a big breath and starts on his way. He begins whistling the Walking Song, but then another tune strikes his fancy: (sung to These Boots Are Made For Walking) Gandalf’s saying leave my Ring to Frodo However my Ring is my precious Though I’ve been messin’ where I shouldn’t ‘ve been a’messin’<br>And now Frodo should be getting all my best Well, these feet are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do One of these days these feet are gonna walk to Rivendel
You keep hidin’ when you oughta be writtin’<br>You keep visiting elves when you oughta not You keep young when you oughta be agin’<br>What’s right is right but you ain’t been right a lot These feet are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do One of these days these feet are gonna walk to Rivendel
You keep visiting where you shouldn’t be visiting And you keep thinking that traveling is the best (HAH) Well, now it is time to head to out to Rivendel (YEAH) What Gandalf thinks you ain’t had time to learn These feet are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do One of these days these feet are gonna walk to Rivendel
SPOKEN
Are you ready, feet? Start walkin’<br>
