The Eagle Not 'Fraidy to Nab a Wizard
Gwaihir
He Came Upon a Midnight Clear


The Eagle Not ‘Fraidy To Nab a Wizard
(To the tune of The Little Old Lady From Pasadena  by Jan & Dean
)

It's the eagle not ‘fraidy to nab a wizaaaard...

The eagle not ‘fraidy to nab a wizard
(Go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go!)
Has a pretty nice life except for blizzards,
(Go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go!)
But parked in his heart which’ll ne’er waver
Is a right-strong, shining-bright, super-great favor!

Tho’ everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the eagle not ‘fraidy to nab a wizard
He flies real hard and he flies real fast;
He's the terror of every Misty Mountain Pass.

It's the eagle not ‘fraidy to nab a wizard...

If you see him in the air, don't try to lose him
(Go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go!)
You might try to trick him, but you'll never lose him!
(Go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go!)
Well, he's gonna snag a friend now, right off the tower
‘Cause Saruman’s forgotten who’s really in power

And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the eagle not ‘fraidy to grab a wizard
He flies real hard and he flies real fast,
He’s the terror of every Misty Mountain Pass.

It's the eagle not ‘fraidy to nab a wizard...

Go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go!

Go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go!

Sharkey tried to hide that wiz from miles around,
But he flap’d 'em right up, then he flap’d 'em down.

And everybody's saying that there's nobody meaner,
Than the eagle not ‘fraidy to nab a wizard
He flies real hard and he flies real fast,
He’s the terror of every Misty Mountain Pass.

It's the eagle not ‘fraidy to nab a wizard...
Go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go Gwaihir, go!

Gwaihir
Based on “Guenevere” from Camelot

SOLO
Oh, they saw Gwaihir
With his Eagles, bold and near
And as swords rang through the hills
It amazed them, one and all

For that day dark and drear
To the rescue, Gwaihir
Ruled that Eagles for their pride
Should be causing orcs to die.

CHORUS
None to soon was the time
They would pay for their crimes
For the orcs and wargs would know fear
At the sight of Gwaihir!

SOLO
I'll wager Gandalf himself was hoping they would return,
As there would now be five armies with the Eagles stern!
When the world is black and gray,
What time would be more ideal
For orcs and wargs to feel
Gwaihir?

CHORUS
As the dark filled the sky
On that day many died
There was wonder far and near
At the sight of Gwaihir.

SOLO
Then suddenly earth and sky were dazed by a pounding roar
And suddenly from the hills an army began to pour
And lo, ahead the army, holding aloft his spear
Came orcs and wargs, not knowing of Gwaihir

CHORUS
By the score fell the dead
As the sky turned to red
Countless orcs in talons speared
At the onslaught of Gwaihir

In that dawn, in that gloom
More than orcs met their doom;
At the dying dragon's pain
Came the sundown of Worm’s reign.

Gwaihir, Gwaihir
In that dark, dreadful year
Saw the birds he held most dear
Go to war with Gwaihir

Gwaihir, Gwaihir
Gwaihir, Gwaihir
Saw the birds he held most dear
Go to war with Gwaihir

Gwaihir, Gwaihir, Gwaihir


He Came Upon a Midnight Clear

(To ' It Came Upon a Midnight Clear')

He came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious bird they send,
The eagle swooping near the earth,
To save his wizardly friend!
A friend was gained and gained again
From Gwaihir, by gracious flight!
For Isengard and mountains lay,
Well seen by eagles' sight.

Still through the cloven skies he came,
With giant wings unfurled,
And took the wizardly friend afloat,
O'er all the weary world;
Above, then down to Lorien,
Where grey would be dressed in white -
So even o'er the fate of Men,
The eagles kept their sight.
