Upsen Downs

Upsen Downs was a dwarven song and the name of the subject of the song: a mythical dwarven utopian town in a deep mine.

Once the many formal verses had been sung, it was customary to improvise further verses, where each singer would take a turn to state their own wants from the imaginary town.

"Climb that trail Break down that door Find that tunnel and run some more

Cross that bridge of fiery glow Running deeper down below Make some smiles from those frowns Ye've found the town of Upsen Downs!

Upsen Downs! Upsen Downs! Ye've found the town of Upsen Downs! Upsen Downs! Upsen Downs! Make some smiles from those frowns.

Ye've found the place o' the finest ale With arm-sized pretzels that're never stale! With big Chef Muglump and his coney stew And Master Bumble with his forty brews!

And in the holes ye can break the rock and haul it up with yer tackle and block Smelt it down and ye'll get it sold Upsen Downs's got the finest gold!

Upsen Downs! Upsen Downs! Ye've found the town of Upsen Downs! Upsen Downs! Upsen Downs! Make some smiles from those frowns.
