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

                                                 
Ohhh My my this here Anakin guy maybe Vader someday later
                      
Now he's just a small fry           /____  chorus
                                 \         
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
                                                           
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace And the minute Jabba started off that race 
                        
I knew who would win first place
                                 
Oh yes, it was our boy
                         chorus

                                                          
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 midiclorians were off the scale
                                                                     
And he might just fulfill that prophecy oh the Council was impressed of 

course
                      
Could he bring balance to the Force?
                                             
They interviewed 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"
                       
                   chorus

                                                
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
                                                      
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

                      chorus x2
