I'd like to film the tale<br>
Of The Lord Of The Rings<br>
And nothing is to help me<br>
Except Gandalf's wizardry</p>

I liked to smoke a pipe<br>
Of Longbottom Leaf<br>
While Frodo's in Torech Ungol<br>
And I safely in my bed</p>

Mr. Tolkien keeps riding<br>
On his flying chair<br>
To the distant corners of his realm<br>
He buys a fresh strong chair<br>
To get him everywhere<br>
But then the journey is too short</p>

Wish that someone put the tale<br>
Into a comic strip<br>
And nothing could be better<br>
Than Harold Foster's pen</p>

Barad-dûr the vast fortress<br>
Could be a feast to him<br>
Or Strider and Minas Tirith<br>
Frodo is a hard nut to crack</p>

Mr. Tolkien keeps riding<br>
On his flying chair<br>
To the distant corners of his realm<br>
He buys a fresh strong chair<br>
To get him everywhere<br>
But then the journey is too short</p>

Mr. Tolkien keeps riding<br>
