What would you do if you're not wearing shoes And you're looking for clues on your way to Mount Doom? Frodo & Sam by the riverbed Got nothing to eat except lembas bread. Now Boromir's dead, the orcs have all fled Aragorn killed twenty with his bare hands. When there seems like no hope 'cause the fellowship broke They must rely on Gollum to take them to the right road. "But I wouldn't trust him," says Sam. "After that whole thing where he killed his cousin for the ring... I just don't think it's safe. He'll throttle us in our sleep." Well lo & behold, what the hobbits didn't know Was Gollum had a plan before they even began. Now no one can sleep and they're all having bad dreams, Gollum's getting frisky trying to steal the ring. When they arrive at the gates of Sauron's evil place, They wish that they could fade away and kill the damned thing. Now their packs aren't getting light, their future is no brighter, And Gollum lead them right into the lair of the spider!! "But I wouldn't trust him," says Sam. "After that whole thing where he killed his cousin for the ring... I just don't think it's safe. He'll throttle us in our sleep." "But I will save you," says Sam. "After all we've been through, I can't go on without you. Shelob will die."

King Theoden's mind. King Theoden won't ride under the watchful eye, His good natured mind is bound by lies. Saruman's spies have ties with the eye So please, Gandalf come rid of Wormtongue From King Theoden's mind! King Theoden's mind The great king of Rohan buried in deceit. With evil in play, Eomer will never get the seat. The truth must come out, the great king must shine! Someone bring sense to King Theoden's lost mind! King Theoden's mind.

Theoden; Rohan's great king. O! Stars above, care for the great king Theoden.

Saruman is burning down Fangorn, We don't know where to go! The Dark Lord must pay, Let's hope he's standing guard When the Ents finally wake up And we take our march on Isengard. One by one, we're coming for you: Friends of Saruman and his Urak-Hai crew. Walking, talking trees become killing machines As the Ents flood Orthanc and kill the disease. Treebeard: "Ah! It feels good to be an Ent." Quickbeam: "Ah! I have awoken!" "Runa-runa-runa-rom! The Ents have finally come! Runa-runa-runa-ri! Fangorn has returned to safety."

"Nazgul & orcs can't stop us now, Let's throw that ring in the fire And turn around, walk back to the Shire," -Sam "Oh, Sam, I'm sorry for my behavior You ended up being my savior. Let's have a brew and talk things out," -Frodo And if we make it back to the Shire We'll have all the pipe-weed we could acquire Safely in our homes, journeyed to the bone. "The journey back is not so bad I've truly seen it all. I won't mind a few months of gardening," -Sam "My feet are sore, my head still hurts From when Gollum jumped on me. Not to mention my finger, but that hurts too..." -Frodo And if we make it back to the Shire We'll have all the pipe-weed we could acquire Safely in our homes, Journeyed to the bone. Float down stream, making our way to safety. Boromir's memory lives strong within me Float down stream, Gandalf has faith in me. And when we talk of the past, we'll know That we had a part in shaping this world For the good of everyone… …we conquered Sauron.
