The times are dark here in Rivendell
Humans and dwarves shuffle in
There's an tall man standing next to them
And he waits as the journey begins

He says, "Men, we must fight for our victory
And follow the Ring where it goes
We must bring them defeat, and our team is complete
When I wear a warriors clothes"

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum

Chorus:
Not just an elf, he is Legolas
Quick as a lightning strike
Well, we all know that he's in the fellowship
And he'll never give up the fight

Now Sam of the Shire is a friend of mine
He cooks up our meals for free
And he's quick in his stride by his friend Frodo's side
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Man, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I will be a gardener
Once we all get out of this place"

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum

Now Pippin excels at bein' mischievous
He's never had fights with a knife
And he's talkin' with Merry, who's feet are real hairy
And probably will be for life

And then Gimli is tracking our body counts
As his enemies all drop like stones
Yes, he fights with a trait we call grumpiness
But it's better than fightin' alone

Chorus
Not just an elf, he is Legolas
Quick as a lightning strike
Well, we all know that he's in the fellowship
And he'll never give up the fight

It's a pretty good team here in Middle-Earth
And Elrond gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me that'll probably be
The one with the best fighting style
And then Strider, he fights like a champion
This Ranger's a man without fear
And they watch as he stands with a sword in his hand
And say, "Man, what a team we got here!"

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da dum

Chorus:
Not just an elf, he is Legolas
Quick as a lightning strike
Well, we all know that he's in the fellowship
And he'll never give up the fight
