Wierd Al Yankovic Wierd Al Yankovich - The Saga Begins Lyrics

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
But their response, it didnt 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
Thats where we found this boy...

Oh my my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi
Soon Im gonna be a jedi

Did you know this junkyard slave
Isnt even old enough to shave
And he can use the force, they say
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though hes just nine and shes fourteen
Yah, hes probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I knew he built c-3po
And Ive heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, its 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 ...
My my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi
Soon Im 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 interview the kid
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 singin ...
My my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi
Soon Im gonna be a jedi

We caught a ride back to naboo
cause queen amidala wanted to
I frankly wouldve liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasnt 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 hes toast
Well, Im still here and hes a ghost
I guess Ill train this boy

And I was singin ...
My my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi
Soon Im gonna be a jedi

We were singin ...
My my this here anakin guy
May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi
