"My Eye"







 



The First Ever Orc-Sung Music Solo!
(I feel pretty confident saying that...)

"My Eye" was the first routine performed under the group name, the "Prancing Pony Players" (P3).  It was written as a showpiece for the "Littlest Orc" character, who performed with the One Ring Circus and later with P3.  She is such a delightfully shy and retiring little orc, we wanted to give her the spotlight!  My Eye was first performed at the 50th Anniversary Celebration for The Lord of the Rings at the first One Ring Celebration Convention in early 2005 with the Littlest Orc, and Frodo and Sam as the backup singers.  It was performed again, solo, at WonderCon 2005, and then once more at the Middle Earth Festival in March 2005 - this time using the entire group!  A versatile piece!

Littlest Orc:

Nothing you can say can tear me away from
My Eye
Nothing you can do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to
My Eye
Like the evil wizard with his Uruk-hai
I will stay with my eye 'til I die
There's not a man today who can take me away from
My Eye.

Nothing you can kill could make me turn ill from
My Eye (My Eye)
And no way you could fight could make me take
Flight from My Eye (My Eye, My Eye)
And now that he's a movie star
He'll conquer Middle Earth and he'll go far
I'm tellin' you from the start I can't be torn apart from
My Eye.

On the tower of Barad-dur he's aflame on the top!
The Easterlings' opinion: He's the cream of the crop!
As the Nazgul fly their fell-beasts 'round
We'll strike the armies 'til they're dead in the ground!

No muscle-bound Man could take my hand from
My Eye (My Eye)
And no handsome face could ever take the place of
My Eye (My Eye, My Eye)
He promised to give me a Ring of Power
We'll live happily ever after in his tower!
There's not a man today who could take me away
from My Eye.

No muscle-bound Man could take my hand from
My Eye (My Eye)
And no handsome face could ever take the place of
My Eye (My Eye, My Eye)
He promised to give me a Ring of Power
We'll live happily ever after in his tower
There's not a man today who could take me away from
My Eye
(What'chew say?)
There's not an elf today who could take me away from
My Eye
(Tell me more!)
There's not a dwarf today who could take me away from
My Eye
(What's that?)
There's not a Man today who could take me away from
My Eye
