Lyrics[]
When you wish upon a Death Star,
Makes no diff- ahh!
[Oh! Jawas! Filthy creatures! Where are you taking us?]
The Uteeni-teeni-teeni-teeni-teeni Room!
The Uteeni-teeni-teeni-teeni-teeni Room!
All the droids are void and full of gloom,
In the Uteeni-teeni-teeni-teeni-teeni Room!
Welcome to our traveling desert dump,
Owen Lars and Beru.
Buy this protocol droid and this astromech,
and we'll throw in Wall-E too!
All together!
The Uteeni-teeni-teeni-teeni-teeni Room!
The Uteeni-teeni-teeni-teeni-teeni Room!
Watch “Polyanna Jones And The Temple Of Doom”,
In the Uteeni-teeni-teeni-teeni-teeni Room!
This is Tatooine, wretched hive of villainy,
Better shoot first, or it'll be your last!
In our bar, everybody's mean!
On this planet Tatooine.
I am the guy betting on a pod race,
Now I got Hutt debt collectors in my face.
I am the guy, wants to cause Luke harm.
Face like a walrus, and a newly severed arm.
Lives on a mountaintop on Tatooine.
In his youth, he once rescued a queen.
Trained Anakin when he was just a teen,
but couldn't stop him from becoming a machine.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
stinked up the vile frontier.
Tall talk and lies, he called my bluff.
Alderaan is where I kept my stuff.
Now it's debris,
Can't believe he, blew up my world.
[ Those poor unfortunate souls! ]
Dewbacks on the Dune Seas
weren't here in the 70s
This Special Edition has things I don't know.
When the Clone Wars start, he'll use martial art.
Wields four blades like a Cuisinart.
Robot bones and scary eyes.
Lightsabers decorate his thighs.
Grim Grievous goes, and kills all the Jedis.
Mister Lord Vader sir, who will my bounty be?
Let me take your order, hunt them down.
You ain't never had a Fett like me! Oh, ho ho!
[Oh, no the Sarlacc Pit! Aah!]
I've got a Fett in me.
[Let me out! I'm very popular!]
I've got a Fett in me...
It's a trap! It's a trap!
We fell right into their lap!
The Empire saw us coming,
Soon our ship will just be scrap.
Shields down? Watch us soar!
Lando, fly into that core.
Those brave Ewoks sure aren't yellow.
Maybe they got help from Willow.
[Luke, I am your father, and so we are all connected, in the circle of life.]
I'll redefine the genre serial myth.
Oh I just can't wait to be Sith!
[You've got a long way to go, my young apprentice.]
Remember Ahsoka Tano, your padawan you called 'snips'?
[Yeah?]
Now realize she got murdered, heh heh heh, by my Order 66!
[What?!]
You two were quite close, and that makes you sad.
But don't feel that, instead get real mad!
Embrace your hatred, and see what happens,
Get dark side power to choke your captains,
Like your dead wife from Naboo...
[Qui-Gon, man, solid Qui-Gon!]
The Bare Neces-sith-ties of life will come to-
Meesa Jar Jar after all!
[Ahh! You threw off my groove!]
[I'm sorry, but you've thrown off the Emperor's groove.]
[Meesa sorry!]
[You were saying?]
No... one... blasts them like Han.
Smuggles past them like Han.
No one slices a Taun-Taun in Aspen like Han.
He'll evade every loan shark and bookie.
For your causes, I really don't care.
You can see his co-pilot's a Wookiee...
That's right, 'cause every last inch of him's covered with hair!
No one pleases like Han.
Carbon freezes like Han.
Becomes decorative sculptural friezes like Han.
And I killed Boba Fett without even trying!
Who do we want? It's Han-
-Solo! Solo! A smuggler's life for me!
Oh, the king of the lightsaber swingers I am,
The Jedi V.I.P.
'Till we got attacked, the Empire struck back,
And that's why I live in a tree.
I wanna be a Jedi Master,
And get my ship out of that ditch.
Well, do or do not, there is no try,
And stop being such a whiny apprentice.
Oh, well, no duh!
(Well, no duh!)
I wanna be like Yoda!
(Yo-de-doe-de-doe-da!)
A Jedi knight like Yoda!
(Ya!)
Fight like Yoda!
(Ya!)
So much.
(Really really!)
You know a Jedi
(A Jedi!)
Craves not these things
(No, they don't crave these things!)
So scat you will with
Kenobi while he sings!
Hey!
Lott Dod, Nute Gunray!
Max Rebo, Dooku, Salacious Crumb!
Dengar, Boba Fett, Bossk,
IG-88, and 4-LOM, Jabba,
Bib Fortuna, Gonk, Sebulba!
Ponda Baba!
With Aayla Secura!
Jan Dodonna!
Obi-Wan: with Oola, Mon Mothma!
Lobot, Gardula the Hutt,
Ki-Adi Mundi!
Lando, Jango!
Greedo, Watto!
Boss Nass, baby!
Tarpals, Padme Amidala,
Kit Fisto and Grand Moff Tarkin,
Sy Snootles and Palpatine,
and Wedge and Biggs and Fode and Beed!
Dexter Jettster!
Ashoka, Chewbacca!
You
(Hoop-de-weep)
All wanna be like Luke
(Hop-de-doobie-doo-wop)
You wanna spy like Luke
(Cheep)
Fly like Luke
(Cheep)
Too
(Weebie deebie doo boo)
I must warn you
(Shoobidy doop)
The Dark Side is tempting.
(Obi, Obi, Obi)
You can learn to be, like someone like me!
[Take me home, Daddy!]
Can learn to be, like someone like you!
[One time more!]
Yeah! Can learn to be, like someone like me!
[ Cad Bane, Zuckuss, Zam Wessel, and Windu, and Porkins, and Nien Nunb, and Droopy McCool, and, and, wait, who are you?]
[Ha-ha! I'm your father now!]
[No!]
