Star Wars: The Saga Begins Lyrics - Weird Al Yankovic

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 Anakin guy 

Maybe Vader someday 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" 

Did you know this junkyard slave 

Isn't even old enough to shave 

But he can use the Force, they say 

Ahh, 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 

Ooh, 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', my my, this here Anakin guy 

May be 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, all 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 singin'," My my, this here Anakin guy 

May be 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 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 Gunguns 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 

May be 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 were singin', "My my, this here Anakin guy 

May be 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"
