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 in |
|
To 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 |
|
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 |
|
Yeah, 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 pre-pubescent 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 midichlorians 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 interviewed the kid |
|
All 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\" |
