DARTH MAUL'S LAMENT

a Star Wars filk by Jeff Morris

(to the tune of "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney)

 

Yesterday
Both my lower limbs were here to stay
Now it looks as though they're far away
Oh I believe in yesterday…

 

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a Jedi standing over me
His lightsaber struck suddenly

 

Why he struck that blow
I don't know, he wouldn't say
I killed Qui Gon Jinn
Now I long for yesterday…

 

Yesterday
I could run and jump and walk and play
Now I need a cart to run away
Oh I believe in yesterday…
