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 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  
 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"  
  
 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  
 Well, I know 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  
 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 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 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  
 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
