The Tolkien Connection
by Lanny Andelin
(sung to Kermit the Frog’s "Rainbow Connection")
Why are there so many songs about Tolkien?
And tales of the Hobbits he wrote.
Lord of the Rings is just a good story.
Though it took #1 in the Vote.
So we’ve been told,
And some choose to believe it.
I know they’re wrong. Wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it,
The Tolkien Connection,
The Hobbits, The Nazgul and Bree.
Who said that every tale
Must be just a fiction,
When told by a storyteller?
Somebody thought of that,
And others believed it,
So our dreams they’d try to conquer
What’s so appealing that makes us keep reading?
It’s someplace we’d all like to be.
Someday we’ll find it,
The Tolkien Connection.
The Hobbits, The Nazgul, and Bree.
All of us in Middle-Earth,
We know that it’s only a movie.
Have you been half-asleep,
Or have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling before.
Are these Elf voices that call to the readers?
It could be it’s more than just lore.
I’ve read it too many times to ignore it;
It’s someplace that I’m supposed to be.
Some day we’ll find it,
The Tolkien Connection,
The Hobbits, The Nazgul, and Bree.
