Anyhow, since nobody else has apparently done one...

Well, I'm livin' here on Tatooine
And the pickings here are really quite lean
Hope I get to go to school next year
But until then, 
I guess I'm stuck here
You can understand why I get annoyed
'Cause I spend my whole day tending droids
Thanks to them I never get to town
Wasting my time
Chasing them down

Will I ever get off Tatooine?
There's so many things that I've never seen
Does this Ben Kenobi know the way?
Lost my family when the Empire arrived
Had I been there I would not have survived
Obi-Wan sure gave the troops what for
"These aren't the droids
You're looking for"
Now we're in Mos Eisley looking around
For a pilot who can get off the ground
Hope the Falcon is a worthy ride
Don't look like much
From the outside

And we're gonna save the princess now
Though we aren't exactly sure just how
Guess we'll make it up along the way

Ben Kenobi says I'm strong in the Force
Solo'd rather have a blaster of course
Nothing happens quite according to plan
We rescue Leia but we sacrifice Ben

Now we've gotta blow the Death Star away
So we put our X-Wing fighters in play
Good ol' Solo gets back in the fray
And the Force was sure with us today
And I finally get off Tatooine
