Bilbo Gives the Ring to Frodo
(Tune: As Time Goes By)

Bilbo:

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With Orcs and Wolves and tension
And things like world domination
We shiver at the mention
Of Gandalf's prognostication.

Remember this one thing:
The Ring is still the Ring,
To thine own self be true,
Do everything you ought to do.
Good luck to you.

Remember this as well:
A spell is still a spell,
The truth is not a lie;
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

And when the world goes black,
You must stay right on track,
It's a case of do or die,
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Dwimmercraft and magic
Are never out of date,
Men and Dwarves are full of
Jealousy and hate,
So keep your Hobbit head down
'Cause you've been marked out by fate,
That no one can deny.

Well, it's still the same old story:
A fight for love and glory,
A case of joys and woes,
The world is hard on Ringbearers,
But so it goes.



Song of the Doors of Durin
(Tune: How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria)


Gandalf:

How do you solve
A problem like Moria?
How do you make the gate
Obey your spell?
How do you find a word
That means Moria?
Annon edhellen!
Or else Khazad-dum!
Oh, hell!

Many a hex you translate
From the Elvish,
Many a verse you ought
To comprehend.
But how do you make it work,
When it's behaving like a jerk?
How do you wave and get
Its will to bend?
Oh, how do you solve
A problem like Moria?
How do you hold
Ithildin in your hand?



The Song of the Orcs of the Red Eye
(Tune: I Could Have Danced All Night)

Dead, dead, we want to see them dead.
The blood's too thick to try to swill it down.
Sleep, sleep, we couldn't sleep tonight.
Not for Morgoth's jeweled Iron Crown.

We could have slain all night,
We could have maimed all night,
And still have done for more.
We could have swung each stroke
And killed a thousand folk
We've never met before.

We'll never know what made it so exciting.
Why all at once our foes took flight.
We only know when they
Began to cringe and pray
We could have smashed, bashed,
Slashed all night.
