Where There's a Whip, There's a Way
Where There's a Whip, There's a Way is a song from “The Return of the King” animated movie (1980). The song was written by Glenn Yarbrough. It is probably a pun on orc's comment “Where there's a whip, there's a will” (“The Land of Shadow” chapter of LOTR II), which is also a pun on a proverb “Where there's a will, there's a way”.
Where there's a whip, there's a way. (x3)
We don't wanna go to war today
But the Lord of the Lash says: “nay, nay, nay!”
We're gonna march all day, all day, all day!
Where there's a whip, there's a way!
Where there's a whip, there's a way! (x3)
Left, right, left, right, left
Where there's a whip, there's a way!
Left, right
The crack on the back says we're gonna fight
We're gonna march all day and night and more
For we are the slaves of the Dark Lord's war.
Left, right, left, right, left, right
Where there's a whip, there's a way! (x3)
We don't wanna go to war today!
But the Lord of the Lash says: “nay, nay, nay!”
We're gonna march all day, all day, all day!
Where there's a whip there's a way!
Left, right, left right!
(scene of Frodo and Sam)
(repeating fragments in different order):
Where there's a whip!
We don't wanna go to war today!
But the Lord of the Lash says: “nay, nay, nay!”
We're gonna march all day, all day, all day!
Where there's a whip there's a way!
