John Cougar Mellencamp

by RathBandu

There’s a Wizard in a White Cloak living in Isengard
He’s got Urk-Hai running through his front yard
You know he thinks hes gonna rule with Sauron

And there’s a princess in Rivendell
Fallin’ in love with a mortal king
And he looks at her and says,
“Hey darlin’, you’re enough to keep me from deliverin’ this ring.”

Oh, but ain’t that the Third Age-you and me
Ain’t that the Third Age-Elves got someplace to be
Ain’t that the Third Age-Home of the Free
Little Green Hobbit Holes for you and me

Oh you and me...

Well there’s a hobbit named Pippin
Droppin’ skeletons in Balin’s tomb
He’s got curly hair and a sheepish smile
Gandalf says “Throw yourself in next time”

And this old dwarf tells the young elf
“Boy, a witch kid lives in these woods”
But just like everything else those crazy elves
Kinda coulda shot him in the dark

Oh but ain’t that the Third Age-you and me
Ain’t that the Third Age-Elves got someplace to be
Ain’t that the Third Age-Home of The Free
Little Green Hobbit Holes for you and me

Oh you and me...

Oh precious oh oh precious....

And there’s ringwraiths and more urak-hai
Whom do they ser-er-rve?
Run across country without sleep
And above all seek the One Ring to the Great River

Oh yeah

And there’s Gondor and there’s Rohan
But that ain’t no big deal
Cause the ranger man, baby
Gets the sword, the crown, and the elf babe too

Oh ain’t that the Third Age-you and me
Ain’t that the Third Age-Elves got someplace to be
Ain’t that the Third Age-Home of the Free
Little green Hobbit Holes for you and me...
