Parody of "I'm Going First" by The Backyardagins

(Set in the mines of moria when the felloship is crossing the bridge of Kazad-dum)

Frodo: It’s my turn, I’m going first!
Gonna run right across in a single burst
Gotta keep my balance:
Look straight ahead
‘Cause if I look down, I’ll get woozy instead,
Quick and steady like a little tree-frog
‘Cause there’s nothing as difficult as fighting a balrog!

Fellowship: Nothing as difficult as fighting a balrog!

Strider: It’s my turn, I’m going now-
Aragorn II will show you all how
Gotta keep my balance:
Steady as I go–

Boromir: ‘Cause you don’t wanna plop
In the abyss below!
I’m Boromir of Gondor
Not a scared Warg-dog
And there’s nothing as difficult as fighting a balrog!
Fellowship: Nothing as difficult as fighting a balrog!

Gandalf: It’s my turn.
I’m going last.
But I’ll stop right here so he shall not pass.
I’ll fight the balrog,
And even though it sounds hard,
I’ll keep my balance and make him slog.
He’s almost across
It’s a great, hard job
‘Cause there’s nothing as difficult as fighting a bal-
(Balrog and Gandalf fall)
