Tolkien's stories were dark
It's was huge at the box office for quite some time
A hobbit named Frodo, you stop and you hold everything
A band of men is going on a journey
You feel all right when you hear that music ring


You put the film in but you don't see too many faces
You hear a lot of voice overs it don't make you frown
Too much competition in too many other places
But not too many hobbits can make this film
Two is on the way and third one's gonna be a while


You check out Gandalf he's keen he knows all the Rings
Man, he's strictly wisdom he doesn't want to cry or sing
And an old staff is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to bury this Ring



And Frodo doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's gotta hide the ring or Middle Earth's doomed
Elijah Wood honky tonks just like anything
Starring in a Flipper movie
Now the Lord of, Now the Lord of the Rings


And a crowd of hobbits they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed and their last name's Baggins and have giant soles
They don't give a damn about any black knight man
He wants to control the whole world
And the hobbits saw little elves


And then Chris Lee he steps right up to the microphone
And says he is the Lord of the Rings
Gandalf said, 'No, thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
and he makes it fast with one more thing
'Two more of Lord of the Rings'
