===========================
Gandalf: You shall not pass!
Choir: Not you shall not pass, shall not pass
Gandalf: I'm the keeper of the flame
Choir: Of the flame, he's got the flame
Gandalf: Ask me again
Choir: Go ahead and ask him
Gandalf: I'll tell yu the same
Choir: Tell.....you....the...same!
That's just terrible! Terrible I say!

I would rather see "Braindead: The Musical!"
Exclusive 1st lyrics
Hobbiton: Its another Baggins Adventure
Frodo: This time starring me
Hobbiton: Another Baggins Adventure
