The Wizard (to the tune of The Boxer)
I am just a hobbit, though my story's often told-
I have squandered my existence
On a quest to destroy this Ring of Power.
Oh, I must rest! Still I have to continue
And disregard the rest...mmm, mmm, mmm...
When I left my home in the Shire I was no more than a boy,
In the company of old friends,
In the quiet of the Buckland forests, running scared,
Laying low, seeking out the hiding places
Where no Nazgul would go,
Looking for the places they could never know.
[Chorus] Lai luh-lai,
Lai luh-lai lai lai luh-lai,
Lai luh-lai,
Lai luh-lai lai lai luh-lai luh-luh-luh-lai lai...
Asking only for some refuge I go searching high and low
But I find no safety,
Just a come-on from Elrond in elven Rivendell.
"I do declare," he said, "someone must destroy this Ring."
And so I volunteered...luh-luh-luh-luh-luh...
repeat chorus
So I'm running now through Moria and wishing I was home,
Going home,
Where the Misty Mountain winters aren't bleeding me...
Bleeding me....going home....
Off the bridge hangs a wizard and a conjurer by trade
And he carries a reminder of the Balrog that made him fall
And caught him till he cried out, in his anger and his shame,
"I am falling, I am falling, but the wizard still remains!"
Mmm, mmm, mmm...
repeat chorus ad nauseum
