Frodo and the Amazing Technicolor Ring

by Nithy

Frodo: I wore my ring
(backup hobbits: I wore my ring)
Frodo: With Elven writing
(backup hobbits: Aaahaaah)
Frodo: Bright letters burning
(backup hobbits: Aaa-aaah)
Frodo: Words I never knew
When Gandalf came
(backup hobbits: When Gandalf came)
Frodo: He said it's evil
(backup hobbits: Aaahaaah)
Frodo: Said I should throw it
(backup hobbits: Aaa-aaah)
Frodo: Back into Mount Doom
(backup hobbits: Back into Mount, Back ito Mount Doom, etc.)

Narrator: Way way back many centuries ago
Not long before the Fourth Age began
Frodo and his friends set out from Rivendell
Trying to foil Sauron's evil plan
Frodo! Frodo & co.
Tried to climb Caradhras, but the snow was too deep
Frodo! Frodo & co.
Went down to Moria where the Balrog sleeps

Narrator: The ring was gold and shiny and round and heavy and magic and evil and old and Sauron's and Gollum's and Bilbo's and Frodo's and Sam's and Froo's.

Frodo: I see a big red flaming eye each time I wear the ring
I want to run, I want to hide, escaping from this thing.
Could it be that I was not the right guy for the task?
Galadriel, you want the ring? All you must do is ask.

Galadriel: The ring of yours, dear Frodo lad, is really nasty news.
You would offer me this ring? What course should I choose?
The evil power of this ring, I know I mustwithstand.
I've got one ring and that's enough, now get out of my land.

Narrator: Poor poor Frodo, Whatcha gonna do?
The ring is bad for you, hey, whatcha gonna do?

The Fellowship: There's one more Maiar in Mandos
There's one more star in the sky
Gandalf, we'll never forget you.
It's tough, but we're gonna get by.
There's one less man in our Fellowship
There's one more tear in my eye.
Gandalf, the things that you stood for,
Like truth and pity, never die.

Narrator: Boromir had tried to take the
Ring from Frodo; not succeeding
Ended up an easy target
Shot by Orc-ish arrows.
Faramir, unlike his brother
Wanted nothing from this evil
He let rodo keep the ring and
Go on into Mordor.

Narrator and Faramir's men: Go go go Frodo, you'll make it soon
Hang on now Frodo, you'll get to Mount Doom
Samwise and Gollum are there by your side
It's too bad that Gwahir would not let you ride.

Theoden, he was a powerful man
Held all of Rohan in the palm of his hand
But recently he had been under a spell
His kingly stature wasn't doing so well.
When Wormtongue's around, better get down on the ground
He's a sneaky, tricky spy of Saruman
Catch him if you can.

Theoden: Well I was sitting in my castle with a mighty nasty headache when-a Ganalf busted in and tried to free me from this spell, uh huh.
(Rohirrim: Bop-shuwadawa, bop-bop-shuwadawa)
Theoden: Well he cast out Grima Wormtongue and he told me war's upon me, but I didn't wanna listen, I was feelin' so well, uh huh.
(Rohirrim: Bop-shuwadawa, bop-bop-shuwadawa)
Theoden: And the women and the children should be gong down to Helm's Deep to be hid
(Rohirrim: Bop-shuwadawa, bop-bop-shuwadawa)
Theoden: And I know that Gandalf's wise and smart, and so that's just exactly what I did.
(Rohirrim: Bop-shuwadawa, bop-bop-shuwadawa)
Theoden: Well the Orcs came and attacked us, but we held them off and we managed to win.
(Rohirrim: Doom-ba, doom-ba, doom-ba, doom-ba)
Theoden: And Eomer came back, and I was reunited with my kin.

Denethor: Those Gondor days
We used to know
Where have they gone?
Where diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid they go?
Alas! This Palantir
Shows me sights I fear

Beregond: Do you remember the good years in Gondor?
When Denethor used to be sane?
He wasn't a looney or crazy
He was quite all right in the brain.
It's funny, but since he lost Faramir
He seems to be stuck in a mire
Perhaps he didn't hate the lad
Perhaps he was a better dad
It's too bad that he lit himself on fire.

Witch King: Oh no!
Not he!
How this man can kill me is a mystery!
The Proph-
esy
Said no living man would be the death of me.
(Nazgul: la la la la la, la la la; la la la la la, la la. la la la la la, la la la; la la la la la, la-la!)
Eowyn: No man! I be!
I am just a woman; not a "he" but "she"
Now you
Can't flee
Sneaky little hobbit stabbed you in the knee.

Narrator: Frodo knew at last his quest was nearly at an end.
He strolled up to the Cracks of Doom, with Sam, his dearest friend.
Frodo: I don't want to toss the ring; I think I'll keep it now.
I will rule all Middle Earth, and all the men will bow.

Narrator: And Gollum came to Frodo
He started to feel bold
He bit off Frodo's finger
Just to get the ring of gold.

Frodo: I had the ring
This close to ending.
The ring was bending
me to its will.
Then Gollum came
Bit off my finger
The pain will linger
It is with me still.
A vict'ry dance
A misplaced foot
Gol and the ring
Are gone for good.
The Dark Lord faded into nothing
We were left alone.

Narrator: And finally
(backup hobbits: And finally)
The show was over.
(backup hobbits: Aaahaaah)
My head is aching
(backup hobbits: Aaa-aaah)
My eyes are too.
I hope you liked
(backup hobbits: I hope you learned)
My little parody
(backup hobbits: Aaahaaah)
I wrote it 'spesh'ly
(backup hobbits: Aaa-aaah)
For all of you.
