The Last of Grand Moff Tarkin’s Crew
Words by Nick Smith
TTTO Barrett’s Privateers by Stan Rogers

‘Twas long ago and far away (How I wish I’d joined the rebels now!)
The Emperor said. “Let work begin
On the deadliest vessel that’s ever been.”

	CHORUS:
	God damn them all!
	I was told we’d just show up and the rebels would fold,
	They never would fight, but I’ll tell you
	I’m a broken wreck after what I’ve been through,
	The last of Grand Moff Tarkin’s crew.

Oh Grand Moff Tarking looked around (How…)
For thousands of loyal troopers who
Would come and be the Death Star’s crew. (CHORUS)

So, fool I was, I signed away (How…)
But when I arrived, how my jaw did sag,
‘Cause it wasn’t no ship, it was a planet in drag! (CHORUS

Now the death Star’s crew had much to learn (How…)
There were so many miles of passageways
That to find the lavatory took two whole days! (CHORUS)

So in this sad shape we flew away (How…)
I could tell for sure it would all go wrong
When our warning shot blew away Alderaan! (CHORUS)

We tracked the rebels to their base (How…)
I tell you we were sure surprised
When they came in their X’s and Y’s. (CHORUS)

Well, there I was in my gund pod (How…)
One second I was safe in place,
Then BOOM…and I’m adrift in space. (CHORUS)

The war for me is over now (How…)
The rebels locked me safe away,
And my prison ship landed on Hoth today! (CHORUS)
