A/N: I apologize for Legolas not having as many lines as the others. There's no reason for it, really. I just split it up this way... Please don't hurt me, Legolas fans! We really do love him, too! Besides, he has his very own song here. ("Mary Sues")
"Walking After Midnight"
(based on the Garth Brooks version because that's the one I have)
One night during the two weeks between Rivendell and Caradhras Aragorn decides he wants to sing a song. The other eight quickly catch on and add their own parts:
[Aragorn]
We go on walkin',
After midnight,
Out in the starlight,
Just like Elrond said to!
[Boromir]
We're always walkin',
After midnight,
Hidden from view!
[Gimli]
We walk for miles,
Sleep through the whole day.
Well, that's just out way.
Yeah, that's just what we do.
[Boromir]
We're always walkin',
After midnight,
Hidden from view!
[Legolas]
We keep our eyes peeled for the orcs!
[Merry and Pippin]
We'd like to use our forks!
We're hungry as we can be!
[Frodo]
And as the skies turn gloomy,
The Ring whispers to me
Of things that I don't want to see!
*the others look at him nervously*
[Gandalf]
We go on walkin',
After midnight,
Out in the moonlight,
Gonna make Middle-earth free.
[Sam]
So we keep walkin',
After midnight,
With our pony.
(At this point there is an instrumental piece. The Companions can't help but have a little spring into their step.)
[Legolas]
We keep our eyes peeled for the orcs!
[Merry and Pippin]
We'd like to use our forks!
We're hungry as we can be!
[Frodo]
And as the skies turn gloomy,
The Ring whispers to me
Of things that I don't want to see!
[Gandalf]
We go on walkin',
After midnight,
Out in the moonlight,
Gonna make Middle-earth free.
[Sam]
So we keep walkin',
After midnight,
With our pony.
[All in Broadway show-stopper fashion]
We go on walkin',
After midnight,
Hidden from...
View!
Now you know why Tolkien didn't write much concerning that fortnight. :)
