[Verse 1]
Headed to the shire
Humming one of my favourite tunes
About to see my good friend Bilbo
Who's having his birthday soon
Ran into young Frodo
And he tells me that I'm late
A wizard's never late or early
He arrives when he means to
A disturber of the peace
The hobbits labeled me
And as I look around I see
Dirty looks on the street
But we're very old friends
Bilbo Baggins from Bag End
Plus I love the little hobbits with their hairy little feet
[Chorus]
Gandalf the Grey, a guardian of Middle-Earth
A wizard of magnificent power
With his staff and with his wisdom he will guide the way
He's the best of the Maiar
Join him and you'll be okay
[Verse 2]
It's good to be back
With old friends of mine
After all this time
Smoking Old Toby
Lighting off fireworks, it's true
This will be a night to remember
It was during the speech
When things got weird
Bilbo put on a ring, which made him simply disappear
I met him at his house when he finally planned to leave
He left Frodo everything, even left his ring here
I'm getting bad vibes from this thing by the hour
I do a little research and learn it's the ring of power
I take Frodo and Sam and I send them on their way
To meet at the Prancing Pony at the end of the day
But first I must meet with the head of my order
Saruman the wise
Much whiter
Much older
I speak to Saruman about what's going on
But he's gone mad
Wants to join Sauron
So I fight him at Isengard, the best that I can
But he's a White Wizard
Took my staff with his hand
High above the land
At the mercy of this man
I'm at the tower's top and I can't even stand
There is no hope he's going to kill me
But in the distance I see a little bug flying
Luckily I speak Moth they do errands for me
Good thing I'm friends with eagles if you know what I mean
[Chorus]
Gandalf the Grey, a guardian of Middle-Earth
A wizard of magnificent power
With his staff and with his wisdom he will guide the way
He's the best of the Maiar
Join him and you'll be okay
[Verse 3]
Now in Rivendell
The home of the elves
I apologize to Frodo for being delayed as well
Lord Elrond concludes
That the Ring must be destroyed
We left with nine companions
And the Fellowship was born
There was Boromir, Legolas
Gimli and Aragorn
There was Merry, Pippin, Sam, and Frodo
And then me of course
The path was rough
Great valleys
High peaks
We had to take the Mines
Of Moria underneath
It was there we were overrun
With cave trolls and orcs
If it couldn't get worse
We awoke a Balrog
The bridge of Khazad-Dum
I said "He shall not pass"
I said fly you fools
And went after his ass
From the lowest damn dungeon
To the highest damn peak
I defeated that thing using sword lighting
I felt life slip away
As if it were my last day
But the Maiar sent me back
No longer Gandalf the Grey
A White Wizard now
New beard
New staff
And I got to meet with Merry, Pippin, and Treebeard real fast
Then I met with the boys
And I called for Shadowfax
The lord of all horses
Now we're off to Rohan
It looks like King Theoden's not being himself
He needs some help
Saruman has him under an evil spell
Not an easy task
But I restored him to health
And I gave him his old sword
Then he started doing well
Ten thousand Uruk-Hai headed this way
We'd meet at Helm's Deep
First light on the fifth day
With the riders of Rohirrim
I arrived to the east
And I led the full charge
And we slayed those foul beasts
Well I guess that the Ents defeated Saruman
And I'm just basing that
On the thing that his body fell on
Then Pippin found a seeing stone
That showed him Sauron
And saw the white tree of Gondor
This journey will be long
[Verse 4]
We stand at Gondor
The White City without a king
Osgiliath burns and survivors fleeing
The Sons of Rohan charge the fields of our enemies
Many are killed but we make safe the city
Sam and Frodo make their throughout Mordor
We must draw Sauron's eye
Away up to the North
This has been a violent war
But Frodo makes it to Mount Doom
The earthquake helped us
But we had my eagle homies too
[Chorus]
Gandalf the White
Mithrandir eagle rider
A servant of the Secret Fire
His task is done
He's not needed anymore
He and the ringbearers
On the last ship to Valinor
Headed to the shire
Humming one of my favourite tunes
About to see my good friend Bilbo
Who's having his birthday soon
Ran into young Frodo
And he tells me that I'm late
A wizard's never late or early
