Verse 1

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away, Naboo was under an attack. And I thought
me and Qui-Gon Jin, 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, and 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  

Chorus

Oh my, my this here Anakin guy, maybe Vader Someday later now he's just a small fry.
He left his home kissed his mommy goodbye sayin' soon I'm gonna be a Jedi'. Soon
I'm gonna be a Jedi'

Verse 2

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 Ooo he was a prepubescent flying ace and the minute Jabba started off that race I
knew who would win first place, oh yes, it was, our boy, we started singing'..

Chorus

Oh my, my this here Anakin guy, maybe Vader Someday later now he's just a small fry.
He left his home kissed his mommy goodbye sayin' soon I'm gonna be a Jedi'. Soon
I'm gonna be a Jedi'

Verse 3

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 a tale how his midichlorians were off
the scale and he might fulfill that prophecy. Well 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

Oh my, my this here Anakin guy, maybe Vader Someday later now he's just a small fry.
He left his home kissed his mommy goodbye sayin' soon I'm gonna be a Jedi. Soon
I'm gonna be a Jedi

Verse 4

We caught a ride back to Naboo, cause Queen Amidala wanted to, I frankly would have
liked to stay, we all fought in that epic war, and it wasn't long at all before little hot shot
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.  

Chorus

Oh my, my this here Anakin guy, maybe Vader Someday later now he's just a small fry.
He left his home kissed his mommy goodbye sayin' soon I'm gonna be a Jedi. Soon
I'm gonna be a Jedi
Oh my, my this here Anakin guy, maybe Vader Someday later now he's just a small fry.
He left his home kissed his mommy goodbye sayin' soon I'm gonna be a Jedi.
