From the Floating Log at Frogmorton
This may not be my best, but it must surely be my
geekiest (Fool of a Took):
Erkenbrand (to the tune of Centerfield by John Fogerty)
Well, beat the drum and hold the line
There’s orcs in Deeping Coomb!
We're goin’ again, there's new blood on the field.
Up on the wall, and swingin’ an axe,
It's a brown-eyed handsome dwarf
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
Oh, put me in cold!~ I'm ready to slay, today!
Put me in cold ~ I'm ready to slay today;
Look at me, I could be, Erkenbrand.
Well, I spent some time near the Postern Door,
Watchin' those big guys fight
You know I offed two orcs when ol’ Eomer tripped and fell.
So, Anduril for the Dunedain, and Guthwine for the Mark
Barak Khazad! you know the time is now.
Oh, put me in cold!~ I'm ready to slay today!
Put me in cold ~ I'm ready to slay today;
Look at me, I could be Erkenbrand.
Yeah! I got one! I got one!!
Got my dwarven mail, a Rohan shield,
A brand new iron helm;
You know I think it's time to give this axe a whirl
Just hit the neck and watch it roll ~
A moment on the stones:
It's gone and you can kiss that orc goodbye.
Oh, put me in cold!~ I'm ready to slay today!
Put me in cold ~ I'm ready to slay today;
Look at me, I could be Erkenbrand.
Yeah!
