Bombadil's Lament
(Sung to You Can Call Me Al, by Paul Simon)


A man walks down a path
He says "Why am I out of the movies now?
Why am I out of the movies now?
The rest of my lines have been cut
I need a photo opportunity
I need a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up an enigma
In a forgotten graveyard.
Phone, Phone
Get that old Peter now.
Call away, Mr. Jackson won't you answer now
I can hear I can hear
Get those scenes in the movie now
I don't find this stuff amusing anymore.

"If you'll put me in the films, I know that they will not bomb
Go ahead and film it, but Peter when you film it, you can put in Tom."

A man walks down a path
He says "Why am I lacking attention now
A short little section of plot
When all the films are so long?
Where's my wife Goldberry
What if Sam dies here?
Who'll be their guardian
Now that Bombadil is gone
Gone
Cut right out of filming
By some roly-poly little double-faced crook.
All along all along
There were promises then accidents
There were hints, then allegations

"If you'll put me in the films, I know that they will not bomb
Go ahead and film it, but Peter when you film it, put in Tom. (put in Tom)"

A man walks down a path
It's a path in a strange world
Maybe it's the book's world
Maybe it's his last time around.
Doesn't seem to fit in
Holds no popularity
He's a strange man
He's surrounded by the sound
Sound
Wights in the willows now
Scattered jewels and missing barrows
He looks around and around
He sees Arwen in the movie more
Spinning and a-grinning.
He says "Hey, why'd she get more time?

"If you'll put me in the films, I know that they will not bomb
Go ahead and film it, but Peter when you film it, put in Tom."

Nah-nah-nah-na-na
Nah-nah-nah-na-na
Nah-nah-nah-na-na
Nah-nah-nah-na-na
Nah-nah-nah-na-na
Na-na-nah-nah-na-na
Nah-nah-nah-na-na
Nah-nah-nah-na-na

If you'll put me in the films
Go ahead and film it
If you'll put me in the films
Go ahead and film it
