Pound far Underground down to/in Goblin-town Hello. In The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey (2012), the king of Goblins sings a song when he captures the 13 dwarves stepping into his underground kingdom. Grip, grab, pinch and nab, batter and beat Make 'em stammer and squeak POUND, pound far underground Down, down, down IN Goblin-town With a swish and a smack and a whip and a crack Everybody talks when they're on my rack POUND, pound far underground Down, down, down TO Goblin-town Could you, please, tell me the meaning of the word pound in both cases? Pound far underground down in Goblin-town Pound far underground down to Goblin-town It seems to me that in the first case he means "a place of confinement or imprisonment", but because the next time he sings the chorus he uses the preposition "to" instead of "in", I'm not so sure. So could you shed some light on it for me? Thank you!
