Upsen Downs

Upsen Downs is a dwarven song and the name of the subject of the song: a mythical dwarven utopian town in a deep mine. When the many formal verses have been sung, it is customary to improvise further verses where each singer will take a turn to state his 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.
