TTTO Star of the County Down

On Tatooine with a stranded queen, a Frogman, and two Jedi. No parts were seen for the T-14, Republic credits would buy. But Anakin with a cheeky grin looked Padmé in the eye. Could it be said he, an angel I see that has fallen from the sky? From old Jakku to Kamino blue Or Dagobah so brown I've seen no Colleen like the Naboo queen That I met in Mos Espa Town. Well Qui-Gon Jin gave fate a spin, to win the parts they'd need, and he fooled Watto with one dice throw, so Ani would be freed. Their ship he bet, the parts to get, and hoped that they could leave. If the kid could race and win first place, he'd be the Star of the Boonta Eve. From old Jakku to Kamino blue Or Dagobah so brown I've seen no Colleen like the Naboo queen That I met in Mos Espa Town. As the racer sped and he kept his head, and in the end he won the day. With Sebulba beat, in a victory sweet, Watto would have to pay. And he said goodbye to his mother Shmi, and he left with the Jedi crew. It was for Padmé that he saved the day, I wonder what he'll do.
