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 down a little slack
Their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
And 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 some day later, now he's just
a small fry
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Saying "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
Eh, did 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 C3P0 and I've
Heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke it's true
So we made a wager or two, whoo!
He was a prepubescent flying ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
I knew who'd win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
We were singing
My, my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader some day later, now he's just
a small fry
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Saying "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Well 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 prophesy
Oh the Council was impressed of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh training they forbid!
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
But Qui-Gon said "Now listen here,
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy."
He was singing
My, my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader some day later, now he's just
a small fry
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Saying "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We caught a ride back to Naboo
Because 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
In the end some Gungans died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croaking
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admired 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 teach this boy
And I was singing
My, my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader some day later, now he's just
a small fry
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Saying "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singing
My, my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader some day later, now he's just
a small fry
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Saying "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
