Last week, we had fought the Federation

Then we had to run the blockade.

We had, to land outside Mos Espa

where it's 98 degrees in the shade.

I went in there, to get us some shopping but

Republic Credits meant we were sunk

then I, discovered something odd

it was a kid who made a pod out of junk

His midichlorian count's amazing

exactly like the grains of sand

CHORUS:

I'm giving you Anakin

You'll be training him now instead.

I loved him just like a son

He's the chosen one- but I'm dead!

If you, put two and two together

then you're smarter than the council has been

The kid's, most peculiar feature is

He's nine and got the hots for the Queen.

And now that I've been Mauled so badly

I really hope you'll understand

I'm giving you Anakin

You'll be training him now instead.

I loved him just like a son

He's the chosen one- but I'm dead!

And now that I've been Mauled so badly

I hope you'll understand...

I'm giving you Anakin

He'll be wearing long braided hair.

I'm telling you, Obi-Wan

He's your padawan, in your care

I'm giving you Anakin

You'll be training him now instead.

I loved him just like a son

He's the chosen one- but I'm dead
