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
|
And 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 knew 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"
