The Skywalker Blues

(Mark Gothard)
I feel the force
Old Yoda taught me well
And Ben Kenobe
He sure was swell
And R2D2, ya know he’s my best friend
But C3PO well he’s whining like a girl again

I hate the empire
It’s always dragging me down
And old Darth Vader
Known as top dog ‘round town
He told me one day, as he was a’ choppin’ off my hand
“Hell son you and me and the Emperor could make a rockin’ bad band”

Oh Ben, what do I do
To the good side I wanna stay true
But Vader, well he’s my dad
And frankly Ben well the dark side, is really kinda rad

Well Han and Leah
Doin’ the nasty all night long
And old Chewbacca
He’s got a three-foot bong
They try to tell me, “Hey Luke well just, forget about your dad”
But having superpowers just kinda makes me feel sad

Oh Ben, what do I do
To the good side I wanna stay true
But Vader, well he’s my dad
And frankly Ben well the dark side, is really kinda rad

We chilled with Lando
Had us a good time all around
But then old Vader
Came to our good cloud town
He tried to freeze me so he could take me to see his boss
And losing Han to that bounty hunter was a really tough loss

Well Chewie and Lando
Took the Falcon for a spin
They said they’d find old Han and
Bring him back home to us once again
Well me and Leah we were just left there with our thoughts
Hell I was thinkin’ about kissing her, but then my lightsaber got soft

Oh Ben, what do I do
To the good side I wanna stay true
But Vader, well he’s my dad
And frankly Ben well the dark side, is really kinda rad

Oh Ben, what do I do
To the good side I wanna stay true
But you never said that Vader was my dad!
And bein’ bad will get me chics, just like old Han
