PALPATINE
(sung by Darth Vader to the tune of "Aqualung")
(Please wait while Midi loads)
-
(INTRO)
-
Sitting in the throne room,
Eyeing Rebel ships, intending doom.
Black splotches 'round his nose,
Spindly fingers spewing lightning bolts,
Hey Palpatine.
Pitching Luke the Dark Side,
He's the reason Han and Leia almost died.
Cackling like a sick duck,
Looks like poor old Lukey-boy is out of luck.
Oh, Palpatine.
-
(END INTRO - SLOW DOWN)
-
On the Death Star,
An old man staggering slowly.
Taking time,
I'm walking by his side.
"He'll come to you,
He thinks he can convert you.
Together we
Can quickly change his mind.
He is alone,
Kenobi's dust and bones.
His destiny's my own
And it's Up to Me."
Palpatine, my friend,
Don't you think it's all so easy,
You poor old sot, you see
He's just like me.
-
(SPEEDS UP)
-
Do you still remember
The Hoth system's foggy freeze,
When the boy and all his buddies
Managed to escape from me.
(Hey!)
Did you tell them 'bout the bunker
On the Sanctuary moon?
Well, I don't think that's
A real smart thing to do.
What's with that shuttle?
And does it have a code?
"Well, sir, it's kind of old,
But it works for me."
"Why are you here,
And not on the command ship?"
My son's with them. "Don't you
Dare give me your lip."
Palpatine, my friend,
Don't you see it's not that easy,
You poor old sot, don't you see,
The boy knows me.
-
(LONG GUITAR SOLO . . . SLOWS DOWN)
-
Palpatine, my friend,
Don't you zap at him so evilly.
Oh you poor old sot,
You're toast now, thanks to me.

Ohhh, Palpatine.
