Elves in the Valley
(to the tune of Down in the Valley)

Elves in the valley, this valley so sweet
As you recover, hear Elrond greet.
Hear Elrond greet, dear, hear Elrond greet
As you recover, hear Elrond greet.

Hobbits love pipeweed, Hobbits love food,
Elrond in wisdom knows this is true.
Knows this is true, dear, knows this is true,
Elrond in wisdom knows this is true.

I have been traveling, this house looks good.
Answer my question, "Will there be food?"
"Will there be food?, dear, will there be food?"
Answer my question, "Will there be food?"

Domo arigato, Mr. Elrond-o,
Mae govannen, hannon le
Domo arigato, Mr. Elrond-o,
Tolo dan nan galad, lasto beth nin

You're wondering who I am-an Elf or am I Man
My story is in the Sil, I am the peredhil
I've got a secret I've been hiding from the Dark Lord
My flesh immortal, I wield an Elf-Ring, I command the ford
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a member of the Council with something to hide
To keep Hope alive- just to keep hope alive
Someplace to rest, before seeking the West

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not unfeeling
I'll try to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, just an Elf who can heal
And give advice and tell you a tale to make the danger real
I cannot take It- we cannot wield It
We must destoy It-Will someone take It?
I am the Edain, who stands behind the task
So Sauron will not get the Ring that I protect

Domo arigato, Mr. Elrond-o, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Elrond-o, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Elrond-o, domo...domo

Thank you very much, Mr. Elrond-o
For saving Frodo when nobody else could
And thank you very much, Mr. Elrond-o
For helping him escape just when he needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much apathy
Morgoth's seeds are sown. Mordor's strength has grown

The time has come at last
To attempt this fateful task
So everyone can be
Numbered among the Free
I'm Elrond! Elrond! Elrond! Elrond! 

(Adapted from Dido's My Lover's Gone)

My daughter’s gone
Our Evenstar will shine no more
I left at dawn
Against my wish I let her go
Returns no more

I will not watch the ocean
My daughter’s gone
No earthly ship will ever 
Bring her home again
Bring her home again

My daughter’s gone
I knew that time would be our last
No more her song
The tune from Valinor has past

I sit alone 
While I watch the ocean
My daughter’s gone
No earthly ship will ever 
Bring her home again
Bring her home again…

Help Elrond, ahh!
(to the tune of Help Me Rhonda)

Well since they took me down I’ve been out, fadin’ in my head
Shiverin' late at night and in the mornin’ I just lay like dead.

My chances are thin as twine (thin as twine)
But I know it wouldn’t take much time
For you to help me Elrond,
Help me keep it out of my heart.

Chorus:

Help Elrond, ahh!
Help, help Elrond, ahh!
Help Elrond, ahh!
Help, help  Elrond, ahh!
Help Elrond, ahh!
Help, help Elrond, ahh!
Help Elrond, ahh!
Help, help Elrond, ahh!
Help Elrond, ahh!
Help, help Elrond, ahh!
Help Elrond, ahh!
Help, help Elrond, ahh!
Help Elrond, argh yagh!
Keep it out of my heart. 

I'm a-gonna be a wraith,
Though I was guided by a Man -
But he let a Ringwraith come between us
And it ruined our plans.

Well, Elrond I saw the Eye (saw the Eye)
And I can give you lotsa reasons why
You gotta help me Elrond!
Help me keep it out of my heart.

(repeat chorus 2x)

tune: the Age of Aquarius

When the Hobbit is in Elrond's house
And Rohan aligns with Gondor
Then all heck will break loose
And the halflings forth shall stand...

This is the dawning of the...

Third Age of Middle-earth...

I am an Elf
(to the tune of I am a Rock by Simon and Garfunkel)

This autumn day
In a deep and dark October;
I sit alone,
Gazing o'er my Council, picking out the tools,
To assemble wisdom from a crowd of fools.
I am an Elf,
I am an Elrond.
I've built walls,
A valley deep and mighty,
That few can ever find.
I have no need of mortals; mortals drifting by,
Their weakness and their aging I deny.
I am an Elf,
I am an Elrond.

Don't talk of Men,
How I've heard their words before;
Their proudly puffed up lineage,
Tho' they're the one with forebears, Isildur's sorry lot,
His spinelessness essential to the plot.
I am an Elf,
I am an Elrond.

I have my looks,
And my loopy hair to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Wisdom in my glance, I can take the stance,
I wrinkle not and no one wrinkles me.
I am an Elf,
I am an Elrond.

And an Elf shows no age;
And an Elrond never dies.
