doug*platypus has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

It's a feelgood chapter, which is nice, and I admit it is full of Fatty goodness. The bath song is great, because it's one of those times when you can really identify with the characters singing, without thinking lawd, 'ere we go again!.

Nothing much really happens, though, does it? The chapter almost seems superfluous - not that the book needs to be shorter (longer if anything!). It didn't survive into the movie version very well, did it?
