"The Wraiths Are Back In Town" - with apologies to Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy and well, everyone.

by Rock-n-Rolga

Guess who just got back today?
Those black-clad Wraiths that had been away
Hadn’t changed, hadn’t much to say
But man, I still think them cats are scary

They were asking if the Ring was around,
Where the Shire was, where could Baggins be found?
Told them he was living in Hobbiton
Driving old Lobelia crazy

The Wraiths are back in town
The Wraiths are back in town
The Wraiths are back in to-oow-oww-oww-oownnn
The Wraiths are back in town

Remember that 'Gul who used to hiss a lot?
Every night he’d chase us while we’d try not to get caught
Man, when I tell you he was cruel, he was red hot
I mean he was shrieking
And this time over at Barliman’s place
Well, that Frodo slipped, then vanished without a trace
Man, you shoulda seen Sam's face
If that Hobbit disappears again, forget him!

(Repeat chorus)
Spread the word around – guess who’s back in town?

Friday night, dressed to kill
In a dell on Weathertop hill
The wind will blow and blood will spill
And if the Hobbits want to fight you’d better let ‘em
The Elves in the forest singing out a battle song
The Shadow’s getting closer and it won’t be long
Won’t be long ‘fore Sauron comes
Now that the Wraiths are here again

(Repeat chorus)
