Songs

You've all heard that there are plans to make The Lord of the Rings: The Musical, but who would have thought that we'd have the idea first...
The following are a few little gems which we've thought up in the past year or so...

Away in a Pocket
(to the tune of Away in a Manger)

Away in a pocket
No room for a chain,
The little Gold Ring's on the move once again.
The Nazgūl are screaming, the Ring takes control,
And poor little Frodo is leaving his hole.

Sam
I love you Mister Frodo,
You don't need to cry.
I'll stay by your side,
Until Sauron is nigh.

Frodo
Be near me dear Sam,
I ask thee to stay.
Close by me forever,
And love me I pray.

Fellowship
Bless all the dear Hobbits
In our tender care,
And take them to Mordor
We'll follow them there.

The following songs are supposed to be sung to the tune of Twelve Days of Christmas, also the Twelve Funny Yarns makes more sense if you watch the cast commentary
