Well, if you've ever wondered
Where JR Tolkien in his famous book
Took the inspiration for the lands of Mordor
Well let me tell you so you give it wide berth
It's the very worst of middle Earth,
Yes, Mordor's based on Morden!
That Lord of the Ringroads at the arse end of London town
They should really raize it to the ground
Well, let me give you what-for
'Cos Morden is like Mordor
Only with much less gore
And more police cordons
One step out of the tube and you're not
likely to get gunned down
But you might wish that you had been
On seeing this has-been London
The road ahead is long and hard
Best top up your oyster card
Or better yet you could just stay at home.
Poor old Bilbo Baggins, he is heading down past Balham, and
Questing to make Sauron look a total moron
Red Eye in the sky turns out to be CCTV
And everyone is an orc round here.
Morden twinned with Mordor, half city and half country
Not one thing or the other, no, the very worst of both worlds
Morden twinned with Mongo, far too scary for Flash Gordon
And Ming might beg for mercy, but at least it isn't Croydon!
The road ahead is long and hard
Best top up your oyster card
Or better yet you could just stay at home.
