I heard the R2-D2 say
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay
Millenium Falcon’s on its way
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay

Too rye ay, Oh, too rye ay
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay

Who taught Luke about the Force?
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay
Who’s the Fountain, who’s the Source?
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay

Too rye ay, Oh, too rye ay…

Who does Alec Guinness play?
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay
Who’s not in The Darling Buds Of May?
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay

Too rye ay, Oh, too rye ay…

Who stands next to Harrison Ford?
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay
Carrying a bloody great big sword?
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay

Too rye ay, Oh, too rye ay…

What comes after Jedi Day?
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay
Jedi Night, so the old men say
Ben Kenobi, Nobi too rye ay

Too rye ay, Oh, too rye ay…
