al yankovic~the saga starts (or something like that anyway *shrug*)


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 anikin guy,
maybe 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?
and 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 knew he build 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--hooo.
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 singing'...
my my, this here anikin guy,
maybe 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 interviewed the kid.
oh-o, training they forbid
because yoda sensed in him much fear.
so qui-gonn said, "now listen here,
just stick it in your pointy ear.
i still will teach this boy"

he was singin'...
my my, this here anikin guy
maybe 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 like 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 gungans 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 anikin guy
maybe 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 goon be a jedi.”

we were singing…
my my, this here anikin guy
maybe 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.”
