Lyrics and Chords
[To the tune of "Lola" by the Kinks]
Intro: / C CD E - /
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
/ E - / A D / E - A - / E - / A D / E - A D C CD E /
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 raisin' 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'd 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"
/ B7 - / F#7 - / A - / A7 - /
Now, 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
/ AE B7 AE B7 / AE B7 EB7 F#7 / B7 - /
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 playin' this part 'til I'm old and gray
The long-term contract I had to 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
Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
{Repeat to fade}
