Silly Songs with Merry (and Pippin)

[purplefluffychainsaw]

Gimli in "Under the earth" ("Under the sea" The little mermaid") It's set in the caves under Helm's Deep, after the war of the ring. I did it for fanfiction.net (Look me up under purplefluffychainsaw)

Gimli: The gold is always golder
In somebody else's mine
You dream about going up trees
[Mimes climbing]
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
[Waves his hands around]
Right here on the rocky floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
[Legolas shrugs]

Under the earth
Under the earth
Elfy it's better
[Legolas scowls]
Down where it's darker
Take it from me

Up on the earth they play all day
Out in the sun they don't slave away
[Legolas laughs]
While we devotin'
Full time to diggin'
[Picks up a shovel]
Under the earth

Down here all the dwarves is happy
As off through the mud they roll
[Demonstrates, Legolas looks more disgusted than ever]
The dwarves on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in the sun
But dwarves in the sun is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the orcs get bored
Guess who's gon' be slaughtered?
[Mimes dying]

Under the earth
Under the earth
Nobody beat us
Kill us or bleed us
In battles
We what the land folks love to laugh at
Under the earth we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is all diggin'

Under the earth
Under the earth
Since life is dark here
We get to park here
For free!
Even the nannies an' the babes
They get the urge 'n' start to dig
We got the spirit
You got to see it
Under the earth

We don't play the flute
We can't sing at all
[Legolas nods in agreement]
We don't like the sun
So we ain't burnt at all
We love the mud
We don't use the tub
[Legolas holds his nose]
For gold we'd sell our soul
(Yeah)
The emeralds they shine
The diamonds do too
The pick works quite well
The shovel is better
The silver and gold
They're cold to hold
An' send a shiver up your spine!
[Picks up some mud and tosses it in the air. Legolas moves out of its way.]

Under the earth
Under the earth
When the light
Is artificial
It's beauty to me!
What do you have? A load of trees
We all sigh and say "pur-lease"
Each little dwarf here
Knows how to dig here
Under the earth
Each little stone here
Is worth a fortune
Under the earth
All of the mud here
Is just ignored
That's why it's better
Under the earth
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the earth
[Falls to his knees and skids in between two columns of sparks, to where Legolas was. Legolas has run off; the song was too scary / freaky] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
