based on “Believe it or Not” (theme from Greatest American Hero)
Look at what's happened to me-,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm here under a Troll,
It should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm under a Troll.
I never thought I could reach its knee -
Stabbing away I made quite a hole.
How could it be?
Grunting it fell onto me!
It's a nightmare for a bad day-,
It squashed me out of the blue.
Taking me out of the fight I was in,
Mashing all of my innards like stew -.
Believe it or not,
I'm under a Troll.
I never thought I could reach its knee -.
Stabbing away I made quite a hole!
How could it be?
Believe it or not it squashed me.
How could it be?
Believe it or not it squashed me.
Well the South side of Tuckborough
Is the greatest place to cook,
But if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a hobbit named Pippin Took.
Now Pippin’s more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout three foot six
All the hobbit ladies call him "Mealtime Lover"
All the men just call him "Pip."
And he's small, small Pippin Took,
The smallest one in the whole red Book
Small enough to sneak a bite,
And hungry as a starving pike.
Now Pippin he a moocher
And he eats wherever he goes,
And he like to wave his well-filled plate
In front of everybody's nose.
He got a custom set of flatware,
He got an apple for a snack,
He got bubble-gum in his pocket for fun
He got some biscuits in his pack.
And he's small, small Pippin Took
The smallest one in the whole Red Book
Small enough to cut in line,
And always hungry all the time.
At the Inn ‘bout a week ago
Pippin eatin' nice,
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a mug all foaming,
And ooh that ale looked nice.
Well he stuck his straw into it
And the trouble soon began,
And Pippin Took learned a lesson
'Bout messin' with the ale of a thirsty Man.
But he's small, small Pippin Took
The smallest one in the whole Red Book.
Small enough to beg for more,
Eatin’ crumbs right off the floor.
Well the Man that Took tried grabbin'
But when he looked up from the floor
That Man looked so downright puzzled,
’Cause all of his ale was gone.
’Cause he's small, small Pippin Took
The smallest one in the whole Red Book
Smaller than any Man,
But quick to grab whate’er he can.
He comes home in the morning light
His mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And Tooks they want to have fun
Oh Tooks just want to have fun
Pippin sings in the middle of the night
His father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh Dad there’s still more breakfast to be done
But Tooks they want to have fun
Oh Tooks just want to have--
That's all they really want
Some fun
When Saruman is done
Tooks-- they want to have fun
Oh Tooks just want to have fun
Some Hobbits take a beautiful ring
And hide it away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh Tooks they want to have fun
Oh Tooks just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When Saruman is done
Tooks--they want to have fun
Oh Tooks just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...
Pippin, the small sweet Took
had a big appetite
He loved his second breakfast
and could ate it with such might
All of the other Hobbits
used to laugh and call him names
They always thought that Pippin
was funny and full of game
Then one misty magical night
Merry said to him
Let's dance on the table and sing all night
And he joined him with a grin
How all the other Hobbits
really did so love him
Pippin, the small sweet Took
we'll love you until the end.
P is for the pot belly you’ll have some day (hahahaha, pig oink oink)
I is for your irresistible charm (dimples)
P is for the perfect way you smile your way (hey it rhymed, woohooooooo)
P is for the…good lord another P uh Pie I saw you eating yesterday (ugh, I’m defeated)
E is for the endless loyalty you give (oh yeah)
N is for the Nice way you treat your friends (sweety pie)
T is for the terrific bacon you cooked (yummy)
O is for the openness of your heart (awwwwwwwwww)
O is for the ugly Orcs you killed , (uh not romantic but it works)
K is for the..ummmmmmm, K? Kite, uh no…Kinky…lol Uh NO for the OH nevermind
Put them all together it spells Pippin Took
The bravest Took of them all
Uruviel’s addition, to make up for the misspelling of the name:
I is for that innocent look he gives everytime he screws up.
Merry, Pippin,
Merry, Pippin,
Here they are
From afar.
Watching Orthanc get treed,
Found a cask of pipeweed,
Very fresh,
Low on tar.
Glad of pipe and
Glad of plate they
Found it rare,
Great to share -
When they were a sore sight,
Found it set the score right
With the dwarf,
Wreathed the air.
Once two jolly hobbits camped along Parthgalen,
Under the shade of a stone Seat-of-See,
And they sang as they watched and waited for their Frodo-choice,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Midd'l-Earth with me?"
chorus:
Waltzing Midd'l-Earth,
Waltzing Midd'l-Earth
Who'll come a waltzing Midd'l-Earth with me?
As we read from the books we cannot help but cry aloud:
"Who'll come a waltzing Midd'l Earth with me?"
Fast came an arrow and down fell their friend beside,
Up jumped an Uruk and grabbed them in glee,
And he growled as he stowed them away in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-waltzing Midd'l-Earth with me."
(chorus)
Up rode the Riders a riding their thoroughbreds,
Up strode the Hunters - one, two, three,
"What's that Uruk gotten in his tucker bag?",
"No more a-waltzing Midd'l-Earth, he'll see."
(chorus)
Quick were the Riders to strike down the Uruk-Hai,
Fast grabbed a Grishnakh, squashed hobbits not free,
And he grunted and stowed them underneath his hairy arms,
"You'll come a-waltzing Midd'l-Earth with me."
(chorus)
But the hobbits they up and jumped past the firelight,
Losing themselves in the Old Fangorn trees,
But their crumbs could be seen and they sang out a narrative:
"They've gone a-waltzing Midd'l-Earth you see."
(chorus)
I am Pippin, hear me roar
With feet too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on Weathertop
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am Pippin
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a "fool of a Took" any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am Pippin watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my courage across the land
But I'm still a hobbit
With a long long way to go
Until I make Sauron understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am Pippin
Oh, I am Pippin
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am Pippin
I am invincible
I am strong
I am Pippin
Heigh ho!
Pippin's smile just glows!
to brighten days. Let's sing our praise!
He comes to life
that fool of a took
The next thing you know you're glued to the book
Sweet is the sound of the accent so dear
and the humor that goes with the scottsman near
Better than actors with lotsa fame
girls come runnin at the sound of his name!
I Will Survive-Pippin's version
( To the tune of 'I will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor )
At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
Thought I’d die without Gandalf standing by my side.
And after spending nights, with uruks, they did pong,
I grew strong, and I learnt how to carry on.
Met the Ents, saw a Moot,
Never dreamt that they would trample Isengard underfoot.
I should have brought some more pipe-weed,
Or at least a noble steed,
If I’d known for one second where this mission, quest,thing would lead!
So here I am! In Morgul Vale!
The darkness is monstrous; the evil air is stale,
Frodo, Sam, Merry, Boromir are gone,
I’m the one who is left to carry on.
But I, will I survive?
Strider leads us out to war now, but will I stay alive?
I’ve got my life to give, I really want to live
I’ll survive, will I survive!
It took all my strength to get this far,
Trying with all my might to find a decent bar.
I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself
Saw the red eye, but now I hold my head up high!
Now see me, somebody new,
Not that silly little hobbit without a clue.
Nazgul come swooping down, we must fight to be free,
But I think always of Merry and my friend Fangorn, the tree!
And here I am! In Morgul Vale!
The darkness is monstrous; the evil air is stale,
Frodo, Merry, Sam, Boromir are gone,
And I’m the one who’s left to carry on
But I, will I survive?
Strider leads us out to fight, but will I stay alive?
I’ve got my life to give; I really want to live,
Will we survive, will I survive??
