Yeah, I know -- it's past for this year. All of them have passed for this year. Still, I tweaked it, got it done, and here it is for you, ready for next year and every year!
lyrics
In nineteen seventy seven,
My life was changed for good:
A little independent movie
Opened in my neighborhood.
A princess led a rebellion
Against the evil galactic empire,
And Luke blew up the Death Star just
As it was gonna open fire.
And I said, ooh chile, never seen so many
Spaceships on this one mission,
Ooh chile, in forty years we gonna
start us a new tradition
Online...
‘Cause it's the fourth of May, fourth of May,
May the fourth be with you today,
With Chewie, Han, and Leia,
And Greedo got blown away.
Jawas say “Ootini” in their sandcrawler,
Ewoks sing YUB NUB down in the holler,
Hoth below you, Bespin above,
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called...
Star Wars Day.
It's really all about Darth Vader,
How he starts out as a little kid.
(We wish midichlorians didn't exist,
But of course they did.)
He really liked Queen Padme,
He really didn't like sand,
Then he killed all the younglings
And Obi-Wan cut off his legs and hand
And I said, ooh chile, they should had pre-natal
Care for your wife and chilluns,
Ooh chile, you're gonna be one of the
Cinema’s greatest villains,
In time...
‘Cause it's the fifth of May, fifth of May,
It's the revenge of the Sith today,
With Qui-Gonn Jinn and Yoda,
And Darth Maul went both ways....
Dooku tries a power play and loses,
Anakin sees the Dark Side and he chooses,
Coruscant below you, Naboo above,
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called...
Star Wars Day.
So now it's so many years later,
It's still in everything that I do,
I named my little Corgi Jar Jar,
My kids Threepio and Artoo.
I carry around a light saber,
Colored purple like Mace Windu,
I tried to use the Force on a parking cop,
Got not one ticket but two.
And I say, ooh chile, the games and stories and the
Universe is expanding,
Ooh chile, in forty years I’ll still be
Loud and proud and standing,
In line...
It's the twenty-fifth of May, twenty-fifth of May,
And that's Orthodox Star Wars Day.
Finn and Poe and Rose and Lando,
And Kylo Ren and Rey,
You could pick apart the plot with some tweezers,
Palpatine and Luke are cranky old geezers,
Jakku below you, Ahch-To above,
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called...
Star Wars Day.
Star Wars Day.
This is the Way!

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful.
Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
