This is a borrowing from the great Segeril of Robirrim, who wrote the lyrics regarding some place east of Rhûn; I have changed the lyrics somewhat to befit the occasion.

Finrod Felagund sings a lullaby to Beren in Sauron's dungeon....

I think I'm going to Valinor
that's really really where I'm going to
if I die I will be gone from here
that's what I'm going to do
v v v v v v Valinor
I think it's really where I'm going to
when I finally am quit of here
I'm going to Valinor

I got nothing against Feanor's boys
You know those brothers are such good hosts
I raise my miruvor and give them a toast
I'm sure they know it's not true
I got nothing against Elu Thingol
every time I've been there it's been great
but now I'm leaving and I can't be late
and to the truth be true

That's why I'm going to Valinor
up to the Pelori where I'm going to
when I die I will be gone from here
that's what I'm gonna do
oh v v v v v v Valinor
that's really really where I'm going to
when I finally am quit of here
I'm going to Valinor

I got no quarrel with Dorlomin
the folks in there have given me their best
All my life they've welcomed me as their guest
I sure have loved it too
I shall no longer hear the evil news
I shall no longer fight 'gainst evil ruse
By my oath, Beren, I've nothing to lose
I shall no longer suffer evil use

That's why I'm going to Valinor
up to the Pelori where I'm going to
when I die I will be gone from here
that's what I'm gonna do
oh v v v v v v Valinor
take me Mandos cause I'm going to you
when I finally am quit of here
