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.
Well, 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.
Chorus:
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
Sayin’ «Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi», «Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi».
Verse 2:
Oh did you know this junkyard slave
Isn’t even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force they say.
Ahhh, 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-3P0
And I 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…
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
Sayin’ «Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi», «Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi».
Now we finally got to Coruscant
And 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 midochlorians were off the scale
And he might fufill that prophecy.
