From the Floating Log at Frogmorton

The Ballad of Sam and Frodo

(to the tune of the ballad of John and Yoko)

Standing on a cliff looking eastward

Trying to find a way down the face

Frodo said right, we're gonna climb down tonight

'Cause I begrudge every minute we waste

Galadriel it ain't easy.

In fact a hobbit could cuss

The way things are going

They're gonna Nazgul-ize us.

Finally made it through to the Black Gate

Found it thick with orcs in steel caps

Gollum he said, we can go westward instead

And you can scale Cirith Ungol "perhaps"

Galadriel it ain't easy.

In fact a hobbit could cuss

The way things are going

They're gonna Nazgul-ize us.

Frodo acted weird on the bridge then

We climbed up stairs and stairs without cease

Gollum that sneak said whatcha doing asleep?

I said we're only trying to get us some peace

Galadriel it ain't easy.

In fact a hobbit could cuss

The way things are going

They're gonna Nazgul-ize us.

Saving up my lembas for the master

Throwing most our clothes down a crack

Then one evening I said well I guess we'll be dead

And there'll be no need to make our way back-- think!

Stumbled down the wreck of Orodruin

In a state of dehydration and shock

Gwaihir looked down and with his beak in a frown

He said, "They look like two dead orcs on a rock."

Well it sure wasn't easy.

In fact a hobbit could cuss

The way things were going

I thought they'd Nazgul-ize us.

Eagles flew us out to Cormallen

Spending fourteen days in the sack

The Strider we'd known put us up on a throne

And said, "It's good to have the both of you back."

Well it sure wasn't easy.

In fact a hobbit could cuss

The way things were going

I thought they'd Nazgul-ize us.
