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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 
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 
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
