Video on YouTube- well worth watching!
A long, long time ago,
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack.
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack.
But their response, it didn't thrill us.
They locked the doors and tried to kill us!
We escaped from that gas,
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass.
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen.
We all wound up on Tatooine-
That's where we found this boy…
Oh my my this here Anakin guy,
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry.
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force, they say.
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yah, he's probably gonna marry her someday.
Well, I know he built C-3PO,
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two!
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy!
We started singin':
My my this here Anakin guy,
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry.
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be.
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy.
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course,
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interview the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"
He was singin':
My my this here Anakin guy,
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry.
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay.
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day.
And in the end some Gunguns died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast.
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy.
And I was singin' …
My my this here Anakin guy,
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry.
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
We were singin' …
My my this here Anakin guy,
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry.
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi."
