This was inspired by the filk session on IRC which recently produced
"King Of The RingWraiths" (ttto KotSwingers).

Because if we've got that, then obviously we need to do "Bear
Necessities" as well. :-)


Scene: The Council of Elrond:

<Elrond address the council gravely>

"You all know why you have been brought here.  The Dark Lord
has sent his ringwraiths, his most trusted servants, out of
Mordor to scour the face of Middle Earth. We may now reveal
their purpose.  They have been sent to...

<turns to camera, smiles, and bursts into song> 

           Look for the Ring to Rule Them All
           That golden Ring to Rule Them All
           The nine rings and the seven and the three
           Durbatuluk and Gimbatul
           Thrakatuluk and Krimpatul
           So ruler of the whole world he can be!

           Wherever you wander, wherever you roam
           You're going to be wishing you'd stayed at home
           The wraiths are hunting for the ring
           And now there's Nazgul on the wing
           This ring is Sauron's one desire
           It must be taken to the fire
           So someone must get through...

           And Frodo, Destiny has brought the Ring to you!
Frodo:     They'll come for me!
Elrond:    They'll come for you!

           You've got the Ring to Rule Them All
           That golden Ring to Rule Them All
           The Nine rings and the Seven and the Three
           You know that man would be a fool
           Who tried to wield the Dark Lord's tool
           And thought his rule could keep the free world free

Boromir:   The city of Gondor
           Is in despair
           So why go to Mordor?
           What good lies there?
           This gift we should not throw away 
           But rather use to win the day
Elrond:    No mortal man can claim its power
           His living soul it would devour
           And make him a Dark Lord too.

           No, my friend...
           The ring of Sauron is a thing we must undo!

           With the death of Isildur
           Were our hopes betrayed
           For the ring of the Dark Lord
           Was not unmade
           For hundreds of years he's been lookin' around
           For the Ring he wants that could not be found
           We know that he can't live without it
           And now he knows we know about it
           So there's only one thing to do

           To Mordor you must go, and take the Ring with you!
