We Lost Kings

Sung to the tune of "We Three Kings"

We Lost Kings of Numenor are
Bearing swords, we travel so far.
Field and river, on forever, following Elessar.
OOooooOOOOooo... King of Gondor, King of Men,
King called Strider from within.
Dunedain to rise and claim!
Gondor high will rise again!

Rohan Knight
to the tune of Silent Night

Rohan Knight
Mounted Knight
All orcs flee,
at your sight.

Riding in to battle so brave.
Hoping Middle-Earth to save.

May your steed serve you well.
May your steed serve you well.

Twas the Night Before…

Twas the night before Dawn and thru Middle-Earth itself
Not a creature was stirring not even an Elf
The ring was placed in the fire with care
By Gandalf the Gray, he said "Oh, beware"

"You must destroy it", said Gandalf to Frodo
“But where do I take it, where do I go?”
Gandalf told him, “I’ll meet you in Bree”
“I need to find answers, and then we will see.”

Merry and Pippin were in Maggot’s Crop
They took some nice carrots and other fine props
They ran into Frodo and Samwise Gamgee
“We’re off to the Inn called the Prancing Pony”

When suddenly down the long winding path
Appeared a Black Rider full of wrath
It was The Ring that this evil did seek
Frodo with The Ring began to feel weak

Inside the Inn they met a man named Strider
Who knew all about that ugly Black Rider
He snuck these fine Hobbits away out from their bed
Away from the Wraiths they oh so did dread

Through the marshes and forests, they did take
To go to the Elves by the beautiful lake
But Frodo was stabbed by the black evil one
And Arwen did ride till her task was done

Elrond did help our fine Hobbit friend
His shoulder he doctored and he did mend
When Frodo awoke he saw Gandalf the Gray
Who was oh so sorry but he was delayed

The secret council soon will decide
What to do with the Ring and where it should hide
“It must be thrown into the fires of Mount Doom”
A place that is wicked and full of gloom

So the Fellowship was formed on that special fine day
Elf Legolas, Dwarf Gimli and Gandalf the Gray
Aragorn, Boromir, the men from Gondor
With Hobbits they went to fight this war

They walked through the fields and the mountains so fine
Till Saruman the White forced them down to the mine
Where they found the Dwarves dead in that dark dusty hall
Gimli was saddened and so were they all

They fought the Orcs and the ugly Cave Troll
To the Bridge of Kazadhum, they began to stroll
The Orcs did surround them and out of the fog
Came a sound of no other but the Balrog

The Balrog did come made of shadow and flame
But Gandalf did stop and called out it’s name
“You shall not pass” said this wizard so brave
For it was Frodo and the others he had to save

The were saddened and feared that their friend did die
To the woods of Lothlorien, Aragorn told them to fly
When out of the mist, did appear blonde elves
They detained them and they all began to question themselves

Galadriel her beauty, the Lady of the Woods
She told them to not worry, she’d help them she would
“Look into the mirror, what do you see?”
Frodo was scared but did listen to the beautiful she

She gave Frodo their star, the one oh so bright
She told him, “In dark places, it will provide light”
They set off out on the river so long
To destroy the ring, to destroy the throng

Boromir fell under the spell on that day
Tried to take it from Frodo, tried to take it away
But Frodo escaped him and off went to hide
While the others they fought off the mean Uruk-hai

Boromir did fight and save the “little ones”
But was shot with three arrows and then he was done
Aragorn knelt down by his side with care
“I’ll not let the city fall, to you I do swear”

Frodo did leave his friends behind
In hopes he could spare them from these kind
Samwise did follow him and began to swam
Frodo yelled “No, you’ll drown my friend Sam”

So Frodo and Samwise set out on their Own
And to destroy the Ring before the Evil has grown.

Gimli, The Small Fierce Dwarf
to the tune of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Gimli, the small fierce Dwarf
Had a beard he thought looked nice
And if you ever touched it
You would find it full of lice.

All of the other Dwarves
Got killed by Orcs and are no more
Then poor little Gimli
Realized he was the only one fer sure

Then one misty magical morn
An Elf did come to him
She told him he was not apart
and he showed her his old great big heart

Oh how Legolas teased him
Which made the dwarf very mad you see
Gimli the small fiece Dwarf
You'll go down in History!

Here Comes Aragorn
to the tune of Here Comes Santa Claus

Here comes Aragorn,
Here comes Aragorn,
To save the Hobbits day
He's got spunk and oh what a hunk
"He's brave" Gandalf did say

He saved Frodo, Merry, Pippin and little Samwise too
He killed Nazgul and lots of orcs and Saruman went boo-hoo.

Dashing through East Emnet
to the tune of Dashing through the snow/Jingle Bells

Dashing through East Emnet
With a Dwarf and blonde-haired Elf.
Looking for two hobbits,
Barely worried about yourself.

The Dwarf can barely keep up,
And the Elf just wants to run.
Why in the world did you ever think,
Leading three hunters would be fun?

Ohhh
Strider King
Strider King
How'd things get this bad?
If you were smart,
You'd have skipped this part
And blamed your great granddads!

Shoot the Orcs!
To the tune of Deck the Halls

Shoot the orcs with lots of arrows!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Bury them deep in the barrows!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Rid Middle-Earth of orcish creatures
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Because we don't like their ugly features
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

While were at it lets bag some Nazgul!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Especially the Witch King who thinks he's so cool!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Maybe we can trash the Dark Lord!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
If not at least we'll lessen his horde!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Oh Legolas, You are so Brave
To the tune of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

(Dedicated to Uruviel)

Oh Legolas, you are so brave
With bow and arrow strong
You fought the orcs and evil ones
We love you, our blonde sun

Your long gold hair we long to touch
And kiss you lips so fine
Oh Legolas won’t you be mine
Won’t you be mine
Oh Legolas, won’t you please be mine

You shoot those arrows oh so fast
Theirs nothing you do fear
You fight those ugly Uruk-hai
You are so fair and dear

Your woods they are so beautiful
And so are you so true

Oh Legolas, won’t you be mine
Won’t you be mine
Oh Legolas, won’t you please be mine

Away in the Tower
To the tune of Away in a Manger

Away in the tower our wizard is trapped.
It seems that the traitor has got him quite strapped.

His staff has been stolen, his powers all moot.
All he can do is sit there, and wait for the boot.

He hears down below a ruckus so loud,
he looks and sees working a great orcish crowd.

He tries to relax and stay on his guard,
but the pounding and banging is making it hard.

Then out of the rain comes a little surprise,
a creature of great help although little size.

He sends him to fetch his avian friend,
and soon he is rescued for a happy end.

White Wizard
to the tune of White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a White Wizard,
Just like the Grey one I once knew,
I can only ponder,
That he's somewhere yonder,
Searching in hopes to find me too.

I'm dreaming of a White Wizard,
With every journal note I write.
I only hope I find him tonight,
And his name is Gandalf the White

Boromir
sung to the tune of Jingle Bells

Boromir Boromir, Boromir so brave
You are so tall and handsome I’ll love you to my grave
Boromir Boromir, Boromir so Grand
Won’t you please come home with me and please be my man

Walking in a Dark and Misty Land
sang to the tune of Winter Wonderland

The Wraiths do scream, can you hear them
Down the road, I do fear ‘em
A dubious night
I’m full of fright
Walking in a dark and misty land

Gone away is Sauron the King
Here to stay is his Evil Ring
It says ugly spells
As we try to dwell
Walking in a dark and misty land

In the mines we can fight a Cave Troll
And with his big ____ we will bowl
He’ll try to kill our Frodo
We’ll say “Oh no”
But you can die you sick and ugly thing

Later on, we will perspire
As we defend our lovely Shire
To face unafraid
Those things Saruman made
Walking in a dark and misty land.

Down in the Dark Mines
sung to the tune of Up on the Rooftop

Down in the Dark mines
They did go
Out jump the ugly Orcs to and fro
Down thru the misty halls
They did fight
All of the little ones
With all their might

Yo ho ho!
The Orcs must go
Yo ho ho!
The Orcs must go
Down in the dark mines
Slash Slash Slash
Down went the ugly orcs
All of them smashed.

Gandalf got knocked over by a Balrog
To the tune of Grandma got Run Over by a Reindeer

Gandalf got knocked over by a Balrog,
crossing over the Bridge of Khazad-Dhum,
now maybe Gandalf should have moved aside,
but the Balrog still would have taken too much room.

He'd been running all day and night,
and we begged him to come quick,
but he just stood there on that bridge,
and began banging on it with his big old stick.

When we found him back in Fangorn,
he told us how he was attacked,
he had burn marks on his forehead,
and incriminating whip marks on his back.

Oh, Oh, Oh.

Gandalf got knocked over by a Balrog,
crossing over the Bridge of Khazad-Dhum,
now maybe Gandalf should have moved aside,
but the Balrog still would have taken too much room.

Now he's got a different outfit,
yes he's totally dressed in white,
when we asked him about his grey clothes,
he just shrugged and said he lost them in the fight.

So warn all your friends and neighbors,
better watch out for yourselves,
you should never go into Moria,
unless you bring a horde of friendly elves.

Oh, Oh, Oh.

Gandalf got knocked over by a Balrog,
crossing over the Bridge of Khazad-Dhum,
now maybe Gandalf should have moved aside,
but the Balrog still would have taken too much room.

Rockin' Around The Shire Free
sung to the tune of Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Rockin' around the Shire free
at old Bilbo's birthday hop
Lots of fireworks as you can see
Oh the fun it never stops
Rockin around the Shire free
let the party spirit bring
Later we'll have some good ole grog
and we'll drink it merrily

You will get a sentimental
feeling when you hear
Frodo saying, "Let's be jolly.
Sam go dance with Rosie, golly."

Rockin around the Shire free
Gandalf's magic fills the air
Everyone dancing merrily
in the good old-Hobbit way.

Great Prince Legolas/Good King Elessar
to the tune of Good King Wenceslas

Great Prince Legolas went on
Running on top of snow
Never had to rest or yawn
Jealous was dear Frodo.

Good King Elessar's a son
Of the late Arathorn
Never bragging a thing hon
Boromir don't be torn.

Legolast
to the tune of Jingle Bells

Running over snow
With the boots so clean and light
No matter where you go
Giving a good fight.

The Fellowship does love
Your face and voice that's fair.
Have you been sent from above?
Your skills adds to your flare.

(Ai!) Legolast, Legolas, what does it matter
What your name is
What the spelling is?
Just choose the matter.

The One Ring of Power
Tune of The First Noel

The One Ring of Power
that Sauron did make,
was to gather all others
for his own selfish sake.

For his own selfish sake,
just to rule Middle-Earth,
and destroy all good races,
and creations of worth.

The One Ring,
The One Ring,
The One Ring, The One Ring.
never have any seen such a cruel thing.

Gandalf the Wizard
tune of Frosty the Snowman

Gandalf the Wizard, was a jolly wizened bloke.
With a pointy hat and a wooden staff,
and a long grey travelling cloak.

Gandalf the Wizard, died at Moria they say.
Well he had to go, but his fans all know,
he came back again one day.

There must have been some reason that
they sent him back to fight.
For when he showed up in Fangorn,
he was dressed up all in white.

Oh, Gandalf the Wizard was alive as he could be,
and his friends all say, he kept foes at bay,
and protected you and me.

Gandalf the Wizard knew he couldn't stay for long,
they just sent him back, to put things on track,
and to help right Sauron's wrong.

Down to Edoras, with a white staff in his hand,
riding to and fro, squashing every foe,
to keep free the Rohan land.

He led them forward, with blazing sword,
and helped them win the day,
he wouldn't stop his fighting,
till the orcs had gone away.

But, Gandalf the Wizard was not done quite yet we know,
he headed down the tracks, riding Shadowfax,
to save Gondor from its woes.

Bumpitty, bump, bump
Bumpitty, bump, bump
Hey look at Gandalf go!

Bumpitty, bump, bump
Bumpitty, bump, bump
Vanquishing every foe!

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot like Mordor
tune: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Mordor,
Everywhere we go,
Take a look at this boggy fen, Sam fell in a hole again,
And I've never seen a hobbit walk this slow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Mordor,
Boy is this a bore,
But the prettiest sight to see, would be the inn at Bree
Or my own front door.

A brace of coneys or Bill our Pony,
Is the wish of Sam and I,
Raw slimy fish not served in a dish,
Or Gollum will start to cry,
And every time I put on the ring I see that eye.

It's beginning to look a lot like Mordor,
Everywhere we go,
It's more swampy up ahead, and some faces of men who are dead,
Are looking up at Sam and me from down below.

It's beginning to look a lot like Mordor,
The pain has reached my heart,
If I don't get rid of this ring, destruction it will bring,
But where do I start?

I'm Dreaming of my Hobbit Hole
to the tune of "White Christmas"

I’m dreaming of my hobbit hole
Just like the one I use to know
Where we’d sit by the fire
Until we get tired
And pipeweed we would blow

I’m dreaming of my hobbit hole
With every dream I’ve ever known
I see the fire hot and bright
And I’m able to sleep at night

Oh Frightful Night
tune: O Holy Night

Oh frightful night
The terror is arising
They come near
Their screeching you here

Long and High pitched
We cower at their presence
There is a fear
Never felt before

A flying fear
Remembrance of an evil
They come back now
to torment once again

Fall on your knees
Oh tremble beneath their darkness
Their steeds fly o'rhead
Did not find what they still seek
Oh terror and darkness
Fly on to Mordor now

The Pain of steel
Comes back to Frodo's shoulder
Though terror be
In Rohan now

Stumbles to the ground
Clutching at the ring
Heavy it becomes
Darkness does increase

A flying fear
Remembrance of an evil
They come back now
To torment once again

Fall on your knees
Oh Sam protect your master
The pain destroys
Any hope of going on
Sam shelters his master
This ring, much hurt it brings

Now it has passed
The terror of evil
But soon it shall fly over again

Shaking with fear
Frodo doesn’t hear
Samwise calling out to his name

The Eye it burns his mind
To put the ring on
Black Speech it fills his mind as Sam calls him

"Up on your feet, sir!
They've past! we must go on!"
He helps him up
Frodo sways and Sam holds on
New courage and hope allows them to carry on........
