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)
