Silly Songs with Merry (and Pippin) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What an amusing thread! I'm culturally deprived, so I don't know that many of the tunes, except the older ones. Anyway, my husband decided he would compose me a funny song, because I'm not feeling all that well and it was funny enough that I had to share it!

Pippin's Role In Lord of the Rings

(Tune: Waltzing Matilda)

Was a jolly hobbit-man, ate a lot of salted pork
Under the shade of a big talking tree;
And this jolly hobbit-man,
Whose real name was Billy Boyd,
Had a big part in this picture, you see.

First he ate his salted pork, smoking on his hobbit pipe,
Forgot his pals Frodo and Sam Gamgee,
Found a magic bowling ball,
Took a look at Sauron's eye,
And just saw another big ol' damn tree.

Up jumped the hobbit-man, whose real name was Billy Boyd,
And rode off to Gondor as fast as could be
With a naughty wizard man,
On a naughty wizard horse,
And that's why his bum was so sore, don't you see.

He went into a city then that was a big mountainside,
And its head bloke had a case of lunacy,
Got a civil service job,
Singing songs for Denethor,
There'll be an Oscar in this, probably.

Hope you enjoyed it too! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Cheers,
Lyta
