THE SONG OF MIM to the tune of STAYIN' ALIVE, performed by The Bee-Gees (as sung by Mim, Betrayer of Turin) Monday, January 17, 2000 by William H. Hsu Well, you can tell by the fact I'm 4'2" I'm a Petty-Dwarf How do you do? Dwarf-lords grim and outlaws tall We've been kicked around We've seen it all And here's Amon Rudh! It's OK! In Bar-En-Danwedh you can stay! Payin' my ransom, payin' my bill In my house beneath the hill Whether you're the Gorthol or on the lam from Thingol You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Can't be no mistakin', you've set the Orcs a quakin' And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive Mim, Mim, Mim, Mim's, stayin' alive, stayin' alive Mim, Mim, Mim, Mim's, stayin' alive Well now, I got caught, I'm good as dead And if I can't pay up then I'll lose my head Got the Orcs of Angband on my case Better lead 'em home by the secret ways And here's Amon Rudh! It's OK! The band of Turin you can slay! Just be sure to kill that Elf If not, I'll do it by myself! He's got the Black Sword! Somebody help me! Somebody help me, yeah! He's got the Black Sword! Somebody help me! Somebody help me, yeah! Stayin' alive... Well you can tell by the way I slink around I'm a traitor now Goin' underground Hoards unguarded, empty walls I'll be hard to find In these old halls And now it's all right! It's OK! In Nulukkidzin I will stay! I get dibs on Felagund's 'Cause everyone still fears Glaurung Who's that guy out there? Whaddaya want here? Whaddaya want here, huh? Who's that guy out there? Whaddaya want here, huh? I'm stayin' alive... (FINI)
