The Ballad of the Fellowship
(Sung to the notes of Gloria)
Refrain
Froooooodoooo
Froooooodoooo
Good Hobbits bow beneath him
Bilbo was a good hobbit
He was a relative
September 22nd
Was the same birthday
Refrain
Now Frodo was the heir of him
And inherit the Bag End
Sackville-Baggins were evil
When compared to them
Refrain
On Bilbo's eleventy-one birthday
Frodo turned thirty-three
It was then he inherited Bag End
And the weird ring
Refrain
Gandalf said, 'Now keep it safe!'
'And I'll be back soon!'
Off he road to Isengard
Leaving Frodo home
Refrain
Gandalf found secrets
Of the weird ring
On to Frodo, he cried
'Throw it in the fire!'
Refrain
On the ring, it said,
'One to rule them all!'
In some form of Elvish
Which no one could read
Refrain
The adventure started
To destroy the ring
Along with Samwise
Frodo started to Bree
Refrain
On the way to Bree,
Pip and Merry appeared
Along with one of the Nine
Who now are called Ringwraiths
Refrain
Now Barliman asked for names
'Underhill,' cried Frodo
'Where is Gandalf?'
'Haven't seen ol'Grey.'
Refrain
Strider inquired about Frodo
And why is he here?
Frodo slipped and put on the ring
And promptly disappeared
Refrain
Soon the Ringwraiths descended
On to Bree
Searching for the ring,
They tried to kill the four
Refrain
On to Rivendale they seek,
With the Ringwraiths back in Bree
Hidden in the weathertop,
Strider left them be
Refrain
The Nine did attack
Before Strider could warn them
Stabbing Frodo in the heart,
They almost got the ring.
Refrain
Arwen came and took Frodo
And off to Rivendale
Followed by the Nine,
They raced across the land
Refrain
The Nine were hurt by waves
And Frodo almost died
Arwen binded him to her
And thus saved his life
Refrain
Elrond was an elven guy
Who came to save him
Frodo was so close to death,
Thank God his name's not Tim
Refrain
There was a meeting of some council
Concerning the ring
Bilbo talked to Frodo
And tried to get the ring
Refrain
After apologizing
Bilbo gave him mithrail and Sting
When he goes to Mordor
Refrain
On to Mordor they went
A Fellowship of Nine
With Boromir being the first
With a tragic flaw
Refrain
Passing through Khazad-dum
They found Gollum
Running from the orcs
They lost Gandalf to Balrog
Refrain
Next to Lotherien
Where they met Galandriel
She scared Frodo deeply
And gave them all gifts of hair
Refrain
Across the Great River
To Amon Hen they went
Here is where the Fellowship broke
When Boromir attacked Frodo
Refrain
Ur-khai soon attacked
And Boromir was killed
Saving Pip and Merry
Who were later kidnapped
Refrain
Now the Fellowship is gone
Leaving Frodo and Sam
To fend for themselves
Since Pip and Merry are gone
Refrain
Now there are three guys left
Strider, Legolas, and Gimli
Now let's all hope they're not bi
And now on to the Towers
Refrain
