The Saga Begins Lyrics

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 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
