Sweet Lobelia Baggins
(to the tune of Get Back by the Beatles)

[Sweet Lobelia Baggins thought she was a cleaner but she was a frying pan.]

Frodo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it wouldn't last.
Frodo left his home in Bagend by the water
For some Elven love at last
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Frodo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Fro.

Sweet Lobelia Baggins thought she was a woman
But she was another man
All the hobbit's 'round her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Lobelia. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Lobelia
Your son is waiting for you
Wearing your high-heel shoes
And your low-neck sweater
Get on home Lobelia
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.


Suspicious Eye
to the tune of Suspicious Minds (Elvis)

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love an Elven Lady

Why can't you see
What the Rings' done to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With the suspicious Eye (suspicious Eye)
And we can't move on down stream
From the suspicious Eye

So, if an Elf friend I know
Drops by to see Frodo
Would I still see suspicion in your Eye?

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see these Elves are real
Especially Galadrial

We can't go on together
With the suspicious Eye (suspicious Eye)
And we can't move through green fields
With the suspicious Eye

Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let's don't let the 3 Rings die

Well Gimli, you know
I haven't lied to Frodo
He's seen the light, and
Here's some hair, cause

We can't go on together
With the suspicious Eye (suspicious Eye)
And we can't move through Gondor
With the suspicious Eye

We're caught in a trap
Man, that cave Troll is fat
and I can't fight no Balrog baby



Merry Merry

(to the tune of Louie, Louie by The Kingsmen)
There are more than 1000 interpretations of this song.
(one by He11's Angels and another with dogs barking)
( Make that 1001~ )


CHORUS:

Merry, Merry, oh no
We gotta go
Eye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Merry, Merry, oh baby
We gotta go

Fire and doom waits for me. Then I
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship and I'm not alone
A magical place will be our home

Gimli, Gimli, oh no
We gotta go
Eye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Gimli, Gimli, oh baby
We gotta go

Three nights and days we sail the sea
Think of Sam, constantly
On that ship, I dream he's there
I smell the Rosie in his hair.

Oh Gandalf, oh no
We gotta go
Eye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Oh Gandalf, old buddy
We gotta go

Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

GUITAR SOLO

See Minas Morgul, the moon above
It won't be long, I hope it's enough
Take it in, my hand again
Toss it away in the fires and then..

My Fellows all Nine
We gotta go
There and Back Again
Eye-yi-yi-yi,

Down a perilous road
Now I don't know how
It all may end
Eye-yi-yi-yi,

The world we know
on our quest may depend
on the wisdom and courage
Of the Nine We send

Rosie, Ro-saye
I'll be your guy
I love you so
Eye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Oh Rosie, oh baby
Oh, no
We gotta go
Eye-yi-yi-yi

Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!
- Erech the Undead


I'm Your Captain
(To the tune of I'm You Captain by Grand Funk Railroad)
(This is a fine mock-tribute to PJ's Corsair cameo character)

Everybody,
listen to me,
and return me, my ship.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
though I'm feeling mighty sick.
I've seen ghosts now,
souls uncounted,
and it's months since,
I've seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
I don't think I'm alone
If you return me,
to my home port,
I will kiss you,
Middle Earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
to the port, of my birth.

Am I in my cabin dreaming,
or are you really scheming,
to take my ship away from me.
You'd better think about it,
I just can't live without it,
so please don't take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can feel the hand,
of a Ranger,
and it tightening,
around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,
take this Ranger, from my boat.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
though I'm feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
and return me, my ship,

I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'm your captain, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'm getting closer to my home.
I'm getting closer to my home.



 
The Sound of M-e
(To tunes from the Sound of Music  - Edelweiss & So long, farewell )

Legolas, Legolas
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom'd of Orlando Bloom you grew
Bloom can grow wherever

Legolas, Legolas
Bless my doorstep forever

=================

(Fellowship)
There's a glad sort of clanging from the pots in the hall
And from Bilbo and the giant Elven hearth
And up in Rivendell an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "quell marth" (good luck)

(Elrond Arwen Bilbo)
"quell marth", "quell marth"

(Aragorn Gimli Legolas)
Regretfully they tell us "quell marth", "quell marth"
As they help us to prepare to say goodbye

(Elrond Arwen Bilbo)
"quell marth" to all of you as you make
your way in the hope that none of you
are gonna die!

(Fellowship)
So long, farewell, oh Rivendell, good night
(Pippin)
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

(Fellowship)
So long, farewell, oh Rivendell, good bye
(Frodo)
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

(Fellowship)
So long, farewell, au revoir, sweet Rivendell
(Legolas)
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne!

(Fellowship)
So long, farewell, oh Rivendell, goodbye
(Merry)
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye -- Goodbye!
(Boromir)
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
(Gimli)
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly !
(Legolas)
The sun has gone to bed and so must I

(Fellowship)
So long, farewell, sweet Rivendell Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

(Elves)
Goodbye!


(Also, Aragorn fits right into the Grand Funk classic:

I can feel the hand,
of a Ranger,
and it's tightening,
around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,
take this Ranger, from my boat.)



Rangers in the Night
(to the tune of Strangers in the Night)

Sinatra:

Rangers in the night exchanging glances
One Ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be squaring off
Before the night was through.

Something in your Eye was so inviting,
Something in the sky was kind of frightening
Something in my heart,
Told me I'd conquer you.

Rangers in the night, are lonely people
We were Rangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Ugluk was just a lance away,
A swarm of orcs to slay and slay

Ever since that night we've been together.
Fighting side by side seems like forever.
It turned out so right,
For Rangers in the night.
- Erech the Undead


Que Sauron Sauron
(to the tune of Que Será, Será)

Doris Day:

When I was just a little ghoul,
I asked my mother, 'What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:
Que Sauron, Sauron
what evil you'll be, you'll be;
The future's not yours to see.
Que Sauron, Sauron
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love,
I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead,
will we have rainbows
when sun is gone and moon is dead?''
Guess what my sweeheart said:
Que Sauron, Sauron
whatever will be, will be
the future's not yours to see.
Que Sauron, Sauron
what will be; will be
Now you have children of your own
An orcling horde 10,000 strong
will they be handsome?
Marching strong
I tell them tenderly:
Que Sauron, Sauron
whatever will be, will be;
Your orcs are about to flee
Que Sauron, Sauron
what will be, ain't thee...

Give Rings a Chance

(Sung to Give Peace a Chance, by John & Yorco.) (ahem..)

One of several bed-ins in the houses of healing...

''Everybody's talkin' bout Frodo, and Bilbo, and mushrooms,
and goo-rooms, and rumors, and journeys, and dark woods,
and Elvesis',

''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''
''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''

Everybody's on about Sauron, and Saruman, and
Orcses' and Warses', and dark skies, and horses, and

''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''
''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''

Don't know much about power-rings
and Elvish things, that gleam and glow,
hey, where'd he go? There again, and
back again. A hobbit's journey never ends..

''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''
''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''

Everybody's whisperin' Baggins and dragons
and horsemen, inquiren', and fell men,
in Bag End, their cronies, the Pony, a tall
man says' he knows me

''All he was saying, was give Rings a chance''
''All he was saying, was give Rings a chance''

Now everybody's cryin' bout our brethren,
the fallen, all good men, we'll miss them,
but till then, we ride on, to Sauron, a great throng,
of tall men, and captains, and even two from Hobbiton,

''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''
''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''

Now here we are all back again,
on the mend, near journeys' end,
We won the day, survived the fray,
the tales will tell of mighty deeds,
unholy demons on their knees,
an evil vanquished in the breeze,
a Crown renewed, a mighty tree

''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''
''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''

So when you speak of little folk,
of lesser folk, perchance to joke,
before you laugh or raise a glass, you
must consider your own arsse, would you
the courage for such task, to face the darkness
to the last, cause' if you don't, you better pray,
some Shire lads come 'round your way.

''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''
''All we are saying, is give Rings a chance''



Hey, Mr. Saruman

Another musical one, for our overworked doctore':  This is something you actually would hear Orcs sing--

"Day-o, Oh-ay day-ay-ay-o,
Daylight come and we wanna go home
Hey, Mr Saruman, tally me Rohana'
Daylight come and me wanna go home

Day. me say day me say day me say day o
Daylight come and we wanna go home

A beauitful bunch of ripe Rohana'
Daylight come and me wanna go home
hide the deadly giant tarantula!
Daylight come and me wanna go home
lift six or seven she ate for lunch!
Daylight come and we wanna go home
Come Mr Saruman, tally me Rohana'
Daylight come and me wanna go home
