Lyrics: "It All Started in the Shire"

"Peace and quiet, Hobbit way, ale, pipes, birthday
Giant cake, fireworks, Bilbo Baggins.
Ring's here, Baggin's gone, Gandalf's scared, somethings wrong.
Wraith's out, it's the eye, Frodo's gone with Samwise.

Aragorn don't stop. Witch King comes at weather top.
Arwen sends a gale. Fellowship's at Rivendell
Moria -- through the fog. Gandalf fights the Balrog.
Cross the bridge, the wizard falls and Frodo starts to wail.

It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.
It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.

Galadriel, Lorien, take canoes to Amen Hen.
Uruk-hai, then Boromir dies, and Merry, Pippin gone.
Hobbits lost their way. Smeagol, Gollum says hey.
Man, dwarf, elf chase Uruk-hai till dawn.

Rohan, forlorn. Small ones flee to Fangorn.
Talking tree gives ork a whack. Oh my goodness, Gandalf's back.
Ent calls gathering. Quartet saves Theoden.
Wormtail flees, to his knees, bad guys by the thousands.

It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.
It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.

Big black gate is so near. Frodo goes with Faramir.
Pack up, time to kill. Legolas with super skill.
Off the cliff, maybe dead. Ring has got in Gollum's head.
Strider is doing well. Finally the citadel.

Little boys guard the keep. No one's conquered Helm's Deep.
Legolas missed the shot. Giant bomb hit the spot.
Ent trees, muscles hard. They just sunk Isengard.
Here comes Gandalf for the win, riding down the mountain.

It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.
It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.

Saruman might fall. Pippin touched the glass ball.
Minas Tirath. Frodo found a new path.
Nazgul rides an evil wing. Aragon's the real king.
Army of the Dead. Denethor just lost his head.

Big fight to unfurl. Witch King got beat by a girl.
What to do? Got no clue. Rohan to the rescue.

It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.
It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.

Frodo lost to Shelob. Now Sam's got to due his job.
Blood, gore. No more. Made it to Mordor.
Can't escape the piercing eyes. Hobbit's dressed up in disguise
Gotta help decide the fate. One last battle at the gate.

Overwhelmed and cannot win. Frodo can't get up again.
Sauron, almost gone. Gotta keep moving on.
Finger bit off in a fit. Gollum thrown into the pit.
Ring is gone and all are free and that completes the trilogy.

It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.
It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning.
It all started in the Shire.
Now the tables are turning as the ring is burning. (Repeat)"
