DISCLAIMER
Standard disclaimers apply. I write for leisure and am no Tolkien scholar, neither am I a composer. Constructive criticism much appreciated.
SUMMARY
The song memory aid that was left out of Master Peregrine Took's travelling knapsack when the Nine Companions left Rivendell. (But then, he'd probably do each and every single thing right on the mark anyway)

Mithrandir Is Wearing A Frown
(sung to the tune of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town)
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not slouch,
You better not grin,
I'm telling you why:
Mithrandir is wearing a frown!
He's got a long list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna tell you
the nuisance you've been.
Mithrandir is wearing a frown!
He sees you when you're laughing,
He knows when you're amused.
He knows when you've been too curious,
So be good for goodness sake!
So...you better watch out,
You better not slouch
You better not grin,
I'm telling you why:
Mithrandir is wearing a frown!
Under Moria,
Under Orthanc.
(Your) Curiosity ruined his plans.
Mithrandir is wearing a frown!
Because of you,
Balrogs, rebirth,
grouchy old kings,
grumpy stewards too.
Mithrandir is wearing a frown.
You'll cast a stone in that well,
you'll chase after a ball.
But nothing compares to his frown
when you wear that uniform.
So...you better watch out,
You better not slouch
You better not grin,
I'm telling you why:
Mithrandir is wearin'
Mithrandir is wearin'
Mithrandir is wearin'
A frown!
