Jar Jar Song

[walker]

cristina's reflections on Star Wars made me remember a song I wrote when Episode I came out... I have a guitar accompaniment written out too (in my head) but I think it works equally as badly without the melodramatic background music.


Jar Jar Song

When I was a youngin
A tiny, little Gungan
I dreamed one day that I would find fame
I noticed to my great glee
That lots of stars were ugly
And so I thought that I'd be the same

But it's hard to land a role when your ears are shoulder-length
And talking underwater is your one and only strength
But then I got a typecast role on Star Wars Episode 1
And now I sing my Jar Jar song

When I met George Lucas
He said "Son, you look stupid
But here's what I will do for you, Binks
I'll make you the most hated, and least anticipated
Of characters in my trilogies"

His jokes about my looks always made me rather ill
When we ate at cafes, he said "Put it on his bill"
He made me room with Jabba in a hut 13 feet long
So now I sing my Jar Jar song

The set was full of troubles, they gave me no stunt doubles
So all the pain you see is quite true
And if you think it looks fun
To get pinched hard on your tongue
Have a six foot tall man do it to you

The people always blame me for those stupid doodoo jokes
Now let's get one thing clear, I didn't write the script here folks
Why can't we let by-gones be Qui-Gons and just get along?
By singing out my Jar Jar song

Right now I'm leading Barney in Most Hated Creature polls
And still I'm under contract to make 2 more episodes
I wonder what roles I can get after this gig is done
Maybe I'll sell my Jar Jar song

Ha! "Put it on his bill"!!!

Loved it, Walker! My one gripe is that I think you were too hard on Barney
