lyrics
THE STAR WARS CANTINA
by Mark Jonathan Davis
Her name was Leia, she was a princess
With a danish on each ear, and Darth Vader drawing near
So R2-D2, found Ben Kenobi
He'd have to put the Death Star plans into the rebellion's hands
So Luke and Obi-Wan, had to get to Alderaan
So they stopped into Mos Eisley to have a drink with Han
At the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina
The weirdest creatures you've ever seen-a
Here at the Star Wars, Star Wars Cantina
Music and blasters, and old Jedi masters
At the Star Wars....
His name was Solo, he was a pilot
With a blaster at his side, and a smile 12 parsecs wide
There with Chewbacca, he was a wookie
They met with Luke and Obi-Wan, about the Millenium Falcon
Docking bay ninety-four, stormtroopers at the door
With a flash of Ben's light-saber, now there's an arm on the floor
(REPEAT CHORUS)
His name was Yoda, he was a muppet
Darth Vader was so bad, and by the way, he's Luke's dad
Luke kissed his sister, his hand got cut-off
In that galaxy far, far away, Luke has had a lousy day
Boba Fett was so mean, Jabba had bad hygiene
Why didn't they all just relax back on Tatooine
(REPEAT CHORUS)
