Parody of "Carryin' the Banner" by Alan Menken

Galadrielspoken In the past, the streets of middle earth echoed with the voices of freedom, up in Hobbiton, Rivendell, and else where in Middle Earth. The people were happy and didn’t need a savior, untill Sauron and the Ring when all that changed.

Smeagol – Hey, that’s my ring
Deagol – But I found it
Smeagol – It’s my birthday and I wants it
Deagol – Well I don’t care! It’s my precioussssssssss

Smeagol hits Deagol on the head and he falls over dead. Smeagol jumps up and down in triumph then runs into caves to hide

Smeagol – I know I really love this one ring
Found by my bro under water
He found it for me on my birthday
I guess I’ll name it my precioussssss
I’ll hide away for many years
In mountains with goblins
I’ll eat raw fish and turn real creepy
Me and my preciousssss

Smeagol drops the ring, but doesn’t notice that it is gone. Bilbo enters the cave and when he falls he sees the ring in front of him

Bilbo – It’s a fine life. I just found a real cool magic ring
A mighty life. I become invisable from this bling-bling
It will help me on my quest with these dwarves
Against the mighty dragon, if I keep this ring on
I will surely beat him and go home to hobbiton

Bilbo brings the ring back to Hobbiton and all the hobbits begin to talk about him

Random hobbit – Bilbo is a real strange Hobbit
He longs for adventure and more
Another Hobbit – We love quiet and unexpected
But Bilbo’s truly strange I’m sure
Bilbo – I’m gonna leave on one more journey
But I’ll have a party first
Frodo I’ll leave you this one ring
Ask Gandalf ’bout his research

Bilbo gives the ring to Frodo and then leaves. Frodo then turns to Gandalf who explains his research on the one ring

Gandalf – It’s the one ring, forged by Sauron years and years ago
This is real bad, he’s probably after it right now
Do not wear it. We gotta go on a quest
Let’s start in Rivendell and we’ll go plan how
To get this awful ring away from here

Gandalf and Frodo go to Rivendell. On the way they meet up with Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Strider. They get there and are called into a council meeting with other delegates from Middle Earth. The meeting is run by Elrond.

Elrond – Listen, people.
We have a big problem here.
Here’s the one ring
Who’ll destroy it?
We need
Frodo – I guess I can go and try.
Elrond – To find
Frodo – To bring the ring to Mount Doom
Elrond – Someone who’ll
Frodo – Though I don’t know the way
Elrond – Destroy
Aragorn – I will be your guide
Elrond – The one ring
Legolas – I offer you my bow
Elrond – Any
Gimli – I offer you my axe
Elrond – One else
Borormir – I will go help you out
Elrond – who’ll go
Gandalf – I will help you also
Merry and Sam – We hobbits will go too
Elrond – With them?
Pippin – Where we goin?

The group is named the fellowship of the ring and they leave Middle Earth and head over to Mount Doom

The Fellowship – We’re off and we’re going
Over to Mount Doom
To help Frodo destroy the one ring
If we don’t hurry
All the free people
Will be taken over by Sauron
It will be dangerous
Boromir will die
And two hobbits will be captured
Things will become rough
Oh I hope we’ll make it to Mount Doom

We’ll go on our own adventures
All over all of Middle Earth
We’ll meet up with other characters
Who’ll join our quest to free the world

The other characters begin to filter onstage and join in the song. Frodo gets split up from the group and he heads over to Mount Doom with only Sam

Eomer – I’ll help you fight and free my uncle
From Saruman’s cruel spell
Eowyn – I’ll fight too and ’cause a problem
‘Tween Strider and his gal!
All but Frodo and Sam – Let’s go Frodo
Even though we do not hang with you
We will help you
We’ll always be a team, through and through
Faramir – I only hope
my dad will finally notice
Me, but since he’s crazy,
I don’t think it’ll happen
Oh I guess he’ll
Go and he will die before then

The orcs enter with the Mouth of Sauron. They speak with Aragorn and the army that stands with him at the Black gates

Merryspoken Hey look at that ugly thing! Do you think that’s an orc?
Pippinspoken Nah, it’s too ugly to be an orc. It must be Sauron!!!
Sauronspoken Join us or die you lousy little shrimps
Aragornspoken I wouldn’t be calling us lousy little shrimps if I were you. It might not be healthy for you. Yeah, yeah, we’re gonna go fight you. So beat this!

A massive battle ensues between the orcs and the good guys. Slowly Frodo climbs up to the top of Mount Doom and in one final moment drops it into Mount Doom for good. The orcs all run in terror knowing that they have lost.

Good Guys – Yay he did it!
We always knew that Frodo would succeed
Yay he did it!
Frodo saved us all from that meeny
We are all free
From the evil one ring
It will never be back
Neither will Sauron
And we’ll all go party long into the night
Yay he did it
Frodo destroyed the one ring
Frodo did it
He destroyed the one ring
Frodo did it
He destroyed the one ring
YAY!
