Down, Down To Goblin Town
“Clap!
Snap! The black crack!
Grip, grab! Pinch, nab!
And down, down to Goblin-town
You go, my lad!
Clash, crash! Crush, smash!
Hammer and Tongs! Knocker and gongs!
Pound, pound, far underground!
Ho, ho! My lad!
Swish, smack! Whip crack!
Batter and beat! Yammer and bleat!
Work, work! Nor dare to shrink,
While Goblins quaff, and Goblins laugh,
Round and round far underground
Below, my lad!”
That is
the song that the Goblins sing while they are taking the Dwarves to their king
and while they are walking along the rickety bridges you get a good look at Goblin-town. The Goblins take everything off their prisoners
from little trinkets to their bones. They
then use those trinkets for decorations and building their shacks. They want to make the town look as home
looking as possible.
The
Goblin king is huge compared to his “minions” and he is disgusting. His chin almost sags all the way down to his
belly and it is covered with pimples/warts.
He has sharp teeth and he drools.
His belly sags and I believe it would drag on the ground if he would get
out of his throne more often.
Peter
Jackson (the producer/director) and his artist crew, Christopher White, Andrew
Baker, and Jamie Beswarick had many different ideas on what the Goblins might
look like. A few might have had a
twisted face or clear eyes. While some
would almost have no chin! Some are tall
some are short and some of them had no legs at all and would get around by a
swing. My personal favorites are the
ones that look like aliens or the ones that have super pointy ears like the Elves
of Rivendell. Although Rivendell is a
whole new/different story about Bilbo’s journey. –Smaug
Nice song!!!
