Empire Strikes Back Song

Yoda

(Sung to Lola by the Kinks)

(As sung by Luke Skwalker, on meeting Jedi Master Yoda)

Lyrics by "Weird Al" Yankovic


I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah

Where it bubbles all the time like giant, carbonated

Soda. S.O.D.A. Soda.

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log

I asked him his name and in a rusty voice he said

Yoda. Y.O.D.A. Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Well, I've been around but I ain't ever seen

A guy who looks like a Muppet, but he's wrinkled and green

Oh, my Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand

How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand

Oh, my Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

I left home just a week before

And I'd never ever been a Jedi before

But Obi-Wan, he sent me straight of course

He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force."

Well, I'm not the kind to argue with Ben

So, it looks like I'm gonna start all over again

With my Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

So, I lifted a box

I lifted some rocks

While I stood on my head

But I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side

"And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"

Oh, my Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

He said, "I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed

"But, remember if you kill him then you'll be unemployed"

Oh, my Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess

So, I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess

But, I know that I'll be comin' back someday

I'll be playing this part till I'm old and gray

Oh, my Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Long term contract I had to sign

Said I'll be making these movies till the end of time

With my Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo-Yoda.

(Fade to end)
