Yoda
[Lola/The Kinks/1970]
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/wimp 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`ve 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`ll argue with Ben
So it looks 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,
Well 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
I`ll be playing this part till I`m old and grey.
The Long-term contract I hadda sign
says 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
