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' |
