"My Favorite Things" - lyrics by Cordelia Willis
- a spoof on the song of the same name from
The Sound of Music

All:  Wizards and parties and hobbits digesting
Elflords and councils and fellowship's questing
Balrogs who flame and a sword we call Sting
This is why I like The Lord of the Rings.

Ringwraiths and baddies and One Ring of Power
Sauron awatching from up on his tower
Everyone cowers when fell beasts take wing
This is why I like The Lord of the Rings.

Soldiers and horses and fighting Rohirrim
Dead armies slaying all orcs while we cheer 'em
Denethor feasting while poor Pippin sings
This is why I like The Lord of the Rings.

Gollum, he bites!
Frodo cries out!
Gollum has the ring.
But soon he will fall and the victors will shout
For Aragorn now...is king.

Viggo, Elijah, Sir Ian, and Billy
Andy, Miranda, Orlando is silly
Dominic and Seans, both Astin and Bean
This is why I like The Lord of the Rings

Phillipa, Peter, and Fran wrote the story
Weta worked overtime making it gory
John Howe and Alan Lee sketching Tolkien
This is why I like The Lord of the Rings.

Premieres and Oscars and masquerade showings
Trolling the Net for stars' comings and goings
Purchasing posters and figures and things
This is why I like The Lord of the Rings

No more movies!
No more extras!
Now it's finally done.
But we can rewatch them again and again
And try to relive...the fun!
