**Smells Like Teen Spirit of the Rings:**

Load up on bows, Bring short friends  
It’s far to go, From Rivendell  
She’s overboard, But he’s assured  
All I hear, Are elven words

How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?

With the ring here, it’s more dangerous  
Here we are now, Who will take it?  
I feel stupid and courageous  
Here we are now, Who will help us?

A dwarven  
An elven  
A regent  
A lost king  
Yea

I am cursed but I’ll do my best  
And with this ring I feel depressed  
Our little group has always been  
And always will until the end

How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?

With the ring here, it’s more dangerous  
Here we are now, Who will take it?  
I feel stupid and courageous  
Here we are now, Who will help us?

A dwarven  
An elven  
A regent  
A lost king  
Yea

And I forgot, Just why I’m here  
And why I find it hard to smile  
I found it hard, to toss the ring  
Gollum fell, so nevermind

How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?  
How long, how long, how long, Mt Doom?

With the ring here, it’s more dangerous  
Here we are now, Who will take it?  
I feel stupid and courageous  
Here we are now, Who will help us?

A dwarven  
An elven  
A regent  
A lost king  
Yea
