Remember when the days were long
And sat atop a mundane sky
never thinking in this world
that chivalry would stay alive
When happily ever after fails
but you still believe in fairy tales
when mundane life brings forth no joy
wishing old days were alive
But I know a place where you can go
That's brought to you by man
We'll feast and wear the brightest garb
and hear music on the wind
You can re-enact those wonderous days
where sword and shield and minstrels play
as lords and ladies welcome all
You're in the Shire
You're in the Shire of Arenal
Oh welcome to medieval times
Where your cup be filled always with wine
For Knights who wield a shield and sword
For the Meridian Queen and King
Where our warriors fight but never fail
Because we still believe in fairy tales
when mundane life brings forth no joy
we keep the olden days alive
But I know a place where we can go
Where you can get your fill
of life within the fairy tale
as armored heroes pass you by
We'll feast and sing the loudest songs
and celebrate medieval times
as Lords and Ladies welcome all
This is the Shire
This is the Shire of Arenal
Who knows how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back within the past
lie the best of each and all of us
So raise your glasses give a toast
and drink to those who love you most
For honor, glory and the crown
We'll keep our dream alive
You can re-enact those wonderous days
where sword and shield and minstrels play
as lords and ladies welcome all
You're in the Shire
You're in the Shire of Arenal
Stumble!
