All this Charlie on the brain has put me in mind of Merry, so here's a little song for Merry and Pippin for their sojourn in Fangorn Forest, to the tune of You've Got a Friend.
You've Got an Ent
Have you found that double
Hobbits make a charming pair
But never, never can match the might
Of the evil enemy
That could be anywhere?
And what about this guy? Is he all right?
When you bid him "hello,"
If his answer's painfully slow -
So long coming, you see the moss grow -
If his hair changes each fall,
If he's ancient, gruff and tall,
If he's Treebeard,
You've got an Ent.
Since the Shire you love is
Threatened by the Dark Lord's shroud,
You feel bold. You want to make orc heads roll.
Treebeard may be weathered,
But he is fierce and proud.
Stick with him and you will achieve your goal.
When you bid him "hello,"
If his answer's painfully slow -
So long coming, you see the moss grow -
If his hair changes each fall,
If he's ancient, gruff and tall,
If he's Treebeard,
You've got an Ent.
Ain't it good to know you've got an Ent?
You're out of the orc horde's hold.
He'll shade you, and he'll aid you
In making Isengard crumble.
Hold tight; don't tumble!
When you bid him "hello,"
If his answer's painfully slow -
So long coming, you see the moss grow -
If his hair changes each fall,
If he's ancient, gruff and tall,
If he's Treebeard,
You've got an Ent.
