The posted lyrics to Yoda were almost, but not quite right. As a listener to Dr. Demento (but not for over a year), I have 2 corrections I am sure about (cabinet -> carbonatated, that -> Ben) and a few others which are shakey. I mean carbonated makes **LOTS** more sense than cabinet & Ben rymes with again (well, sort of). You'll probably never see this song sold since LucasFilms has the nasty habit of sueing everyone concievably guilty of copyright infringement. /john --------------------------------------------------------- The STAR WARS Song Sung to the tune of "Lola", by the Kinks: I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah Where it bubbles all the time like a 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 raspy voice he said Yoda Y-O-D-A Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda Well I've been around but I ain't never 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 Well I left home just a week before And I never ever **been** a Jedi before But Obi-Wan he set me straight of course He said "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force" Well I'm not the kind that would 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 Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda So I used the Force I picked up a box I lifted some rocks While I stood on my head Well 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 "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 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 coming back some day 'Cause **I'll be** playing this part 'till I'm old and gray 'Cause a long term contract I had to sign **So** 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 [Repeat]
