I dunno how well known this is...but I was sent this recently.

Filk: The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins
      (as performed by Leonard Nimoy)
        _____________________

In the middle of the earth in the land of Shire
Lives a brave little Hobbit whom we all admire
With his long wooden pipe and fuzzy-willy toes
He lives in a Hobbit-hole and everybody knows him, 

Bilbo. (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins,
Only three feet tall
Bilbo. (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins,
Bravest little Hobbit of them all.

Now Hobbits are peace-loving folks you know
They're never in a hury and they take things slow
They don't like traveling away from home
They just like to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
On a big adventure (in the caves below?)
To help some dwarves get back their gold
That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old

Bilbo. (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins,
Only three feet tall
Bilbo. (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins,
Bravest little Hobbit of them all.

Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!
He riddled with Gollum!
A magic ring he stole!
He was chased by wolves, lost in the forest,
Escaped in a barrel from the Elf King's hall!

Bilbo. (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins,
Bravest little Hobbit of them all.
Bilbo. (Bilbo!) Bilbo Baggins,
Bravest little Hobbit of them all.
