This one's at EI, too, but not everyone who reads this and might like the filk posts there, so I'm cross-posting it. w00t. ;)


Magic Ring
(to the tune of "Magic Bus," by the Who)

Every day my people fight
(small thing -- magic ring!)
To keep back the Dark Lord's endless night
(small thing -- magic ring!)
We're so weary no one's sending aid
(small thing -- magic ring!)
We bust our asses with bow and blade
(small thing -- magic ring!)

Thank you Frodo for letting me speak
(small thing -- magic ring!)
We men of Gondor aren't so weak
(small thing -- magic ring!)
I don't want to start nothing --
(small thing -- magic ring!)
But can I use your magic ring?
(small thing -- magic ring!)

(Frodo: Nooooooooooooooooooo...)

I just ask for strength, my friend
(small thing -- magic ring!)
I only want that ring for Gondor to defend
(small thing -- magic ring!)

I want it, I want it, I want it...

(Frodo: You caaaaaaaaaaaaan't have it!)

A mighty gift has come our way
Who cares what elves and wizards say?
A mighty gift has come our way
And they tell us now to throw it away
Magic ring! (repeat many times)

I want the magic ring... (repeat many times)

Give to me my magic ring
(small thing -- magic ring!)
I said give to me my magic ring
(small thing -- magic ring!)
I'll lead my men to victory
(small thing -- magic ring!)
And everyone will bow to me
(small thing -- magic ring!)

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it...

I don't want no upstart king
(small thing -- magic ring!)
I'll rule my city with the magic ring
(small thing -- magic ring!)
