From the Floating Log at Frogmorton
Goodbye, Great Eastern Road
(by Elton John)
When are you gonna give up?
When will you leave me alone?
I shouldn't've put on the ring
I should've listened to Gandalf drone.
You know you can't chase me forever
There's only so much you can do.
As soon as I get onto Elrond's lands
This hobbit'll be free of you-oo-oo etc.
So goodbye, Great Eastern Road
Where the Ringwraiths scare even themselves.
You can't take me to the Dark Lord
I'm going back to the elves.
Off to the Last Homely House
The place where ol' Strider first strode.
One thing I know is that safety lies
Away from the Great Eastern Ro-o-oad etc.
What do you think you'll do now?
All of your horses are drowned.
Eight of 'em floated up dead by the river
The other one couldn't be found.
Maybe you'll get some replacements
Fell beasts that have outlived their day
Nurtured and fed by the Dark Lord himself
Will soon have you back under way-ay-ay etc.
-- Fool of a Took
