The Saga Begins

Track 1, : minutes

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
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
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 that this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave?
But he can use the Force, they say
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 prepubescent flying 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 Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy good-bye
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 prophesy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the force?
They interviewed the kid
But, 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 singing my, my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy good-bye
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 have 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 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 Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy good-bye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We were singing my, my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy good-bye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
