lyrics

A New Hope

Luke Skywalker
I’m Luke Skywalker, straight from Tatooine
And though I didn’t find out till I was nineteen
I’m one of the few Jedi Knights that’s remaining
The force is strong with me, even with no formal training
An expert pilot, no matter what I’m flying
Blew up the Death Star without even trying
Plus I got light saber techniques down to a science
I’m a new hope for the Rebel Alliance

Tusken Raider
I’m the Tusken Raider URoRRoR’R’R
So poor that I got to eat Womp Rat Fur
Googles and a facemask, that’s my style
Hide when I ride my Bantha single file
Got to kill or be killed, steal or starve
Raised in a wasteland you know I’m hard
Where I’m from, sand is the only thing free
So we the sand people living in the Dune Sea

Jawa
Midget in a hood they call me a Jawa
Rolling through the desert in my big sandcrawler
Everyday I’m scavenging trying to get my hand on
Equpiment that I can sell to an outlander
No matter what is or where it’s from I deal it
Buy it or build it or find it or steal it
Hiding in the shadows so droids can’t see me
Til I blast them with ion and yell, “Utinni!”

R2D2
I’m R2D2 confetti creating
Disc drive, distracting, droid deactivating
Computer interfacing, life form scanning
Astromech holoprojector, air cannon
With inflatable mattress, periscope, propeller
Cable gun, claw arm, collapsible umbrella
More gadgets than a Swiss Army knife in my chest
Don’t leave home without me like American Express

Princess Leia
You might be a marksman, but I can shoot faster
I rarely, if ever, miss a shot with my blaster
They call me Princess Leia, many men pursue me
I’m so hot my twin brother wanted to do me
But I’m not a sex object, I’m a woman with a mission
A top rebel general, and skilled tactician
Galactic Empire is not as strong as the masses
They can strike back, but we’ll still beat their asses

Han Solo
The name is Han Solo and I push a phat whip
My Millennium Falcon will outrun any ship
It was as a spice-smuggler that I gained my respect
I made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs
So if we’re under attack, no need to panic
I’m a top-notch pilot, a skilled mechanic
And a smooth operator, I have to admit
I’m a little bit cocky, cause I know that I’m the shit

Chewbacca
A legendary pilot, I ain’t no rookie
My name is Chewbacca, a big hairy wookie
On the Falcon, friends call me Chewie
Fly drunk all the time but I never got a DUI
Walking round naked I don’t even wear shoes
I like to play games but I don’t like to lose
So if you beat me, don’t be alarmed
When I grab you by the shoulder and rip off your arm
