Star Wars
(Slow intro)
A long long time ago
Said the opening titles Lucas wrote
In a galaxy far away
We started with part four of nine
about a young man in his prime
and whether to the dark side he would stray
(Faster guitar part-main part of song)
(1)
Two droids who were named Artoo
and Threepeo crashed on Tatooine
They had to find Kenobi
In desert worse than Gobi
And I can't remember if I cried
When Vader ordered fratricide
But I knew that I was horrified
The day the Jawas died
(chorus)
They were singing
Bye Bye 'cause this planet's too dry
Drove his speeder to Mos Eisley
for to join the allies
and Obi Wan, he cut the arm off some guy
Saying "Soon, Luke, you will be a Jedi!"
"Soon, Luke, you will be a Jedi"
(2)
Well they flew off to Alderaan
but when they got there it was gone
Nothing left but asteroids
So Solo plotted a new course
While Luke learned how to use the Force
and Chewie played some space-chess with the droids
(bridge)
Oh and while we heard John Williams theme
The Death Star used a tractor beam
Ben went to shut it down
so the others could leave town
Luke was a lonely teenaged Jedi Knight
with an X-Wing fighter and a sword of light
and he knew he had to join the fight
the day Kenobi died.
(chorus)
And we were singing
Bye Bye it's the Death Stars demise
It got blown up by a rebel
who was code-named red five
and Vader very nearly didn't survive
'Cause Han sure picked a damed good time to arrive
He picked a damed good time to arrive
(3)
On Hoth they built a rebel base
Two decades after Lost in Space
So the fight could start again
Oh and Luke got captured by a beast
Who saved him for an evening feast
Until he used the force to self-defend
(bridge)
Oh and Han split up his Tauntauns side
So a Luke-cicle he could stuff inside
then alas alack
The Empire they struck back
and as the AT-ATs walked on through the snow
The rebels cried out "Tally-Ho!"
But it was like the Alamo
the day Luke's gunner died.
(chorus)
And we were singing
Bye bye let us deoccupy
If we stay here too much longer
we will be vaporized
and Luke flew off to meet with Yoda the Wise
Saying "I must learn to be a Jedi"
"I must learn to be a Jedi"
(4)
Boggy Foggy, full of froggies
Dagobah was damp and soggy
but that's where Yoda had his home
He was a wisened little gnome
two feet high when fully grown
but he taught Luke how to make the force his own
(bridge)
Oh but Lukes friends were in trouble deep
With Threepeo piled in a heap
Our heroes were betrayed
Thrown in the stockade
Oh and by Darth Vader Luke was mamed
Then he hung from a weather vane
and he learned Vader's real name
the day Han Solo got froze in a block of carbonite (rush to make fit)
(chorus)
And we were singing
Bye bye Lando's town in the sky
they left even though they had a broken down hyperdrive
and Boba Fett took off with Han in Slave I
They'd be gone until "Return of Jedi"
Gone until "Return of Jedi"
(5)
Then for three years we were on our own
while Han played Indiana Jones
and Carrie married rhyming Paul
Sy Snootles sang for Jabba's chums
like Bib Fortuna and Salacious Crumb
while Solo hung around on Jabba's wall
(bridge)
Oh and after Leia got him down
the Sarlac waited underground
it swallowed Boba Fett
The worst indigestion yet!
and while Leia changed out of her bra
Luke flew off to Dagobah
and he was there to hold his paw
the day Yoda died.
(chorus)
And he was singing
Bye bye to the little green guy
he taught Vader and Kenobi and Luke
To be Jedi
And now he's gone to that big bog in the sky
saying "Luke there is another young Sky....(gasp)"
"Luke, there is another young...Sky...walk...er...(gasp"
(Slowly)
(6)
Luke met a man named Palpatine
An emperor of being mean
who wanted Luke to be his heir
And meanwhile on the moon below
The rebels struck a counter blow
with assistance from some...Teddy Bears
(bridge)
And in the skies a war was waged
Fighters fought and lasers lazed
The battle it was heated
the Empire was defeated
and the three Jedi admired most
Yoda, Ben and Vader's ghost
all glowed blue and raised a toast
the day Darth Vader died
(chorus)
And we were singing
Bye bye "Return of the Jedi"
We'll wait fifteen years for sequels
as Binkley prophecised
and while we wait we'll make do
with Deep Space Nine
saying "May the Force be with you and I"
"May the Force be with you and I"
So Bye bye "Return of the Jedi"
We'll wait fifteen years for sequels
as Binkley prophecised
and while we wait we'll make do
with Deep Space Nine
saying "May the Force be with you and I"
"May the Force be with you and I"
