From the new musical, Westron Side Story

by KathleentheCritic

With apologies to Tolkien, Sondheim & Bernstein (Hey--sounds like a law firm.
(Legolas)

Moria!
The most hideous place that I’ve ever been
Moria, Moria, Moria, Moria…
A more hideous horde of fell beasts I have never seen
Moria, Moria, Moria, Moria…

Moria, I just left a mine called Moria!
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.

Moria!
I’ve just left a pit called Moria.
A Balrog straight from hell
Where Grey Mithrandir fell,
We flee!

Moria!
Orcs and goblins and cave trolls for slaying…
Khazad-dum—dwarves are crazy for staying.

Moria!
I’ll never stop cursing Moria.

The most hideous place that I’ve ever been
Moria!
