"The Phantom Medley" by Mark Jonathan Davis & The X-Swing Fighters was released in 1999 to coincide with the arrival of Star Wars Episode One, "The Phantom Menace." This zany comedy parody song features a medley of 16 witty ditties about everyone's favorite sci-fi film phenomenon, spoofing familiar tunes such as "On Top Of Old Smokey" ("Obi-Wan Kenobi"), "La Bamba", ("La Boba"), and "Come All Ye Faithful" ("Come All Ye Force-ful"). "The Phantom Medley" pays loving tribute to the entire Star Wars universe, and is truly a tour de force.

THE PHANTOM MEDLEY
Lyrics written by Mark Jonathan Davis
Released: May 10, 1999
© Copyright 1999 Mark Jonathan Davis

(OH SUSANNA)
Well, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away-a
This guy in black was on the track of the rebels led by Leia
Hey, Luke Skywalker, they fried your uncle and aunt
So he left Tatooine with a light sabre in his pants

(ALOUETTE)
You can bet I, want to be a Jedi
There is no try, only do

(ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT)
Use, use, use the force
Trust me, Luke, it's neato
Listen to Ben, he'll tell you when
To launch your torpedo

(THE CAISSONS GO MARCHING ALONG)
It's a ship, that is flown
By that Indiana Jones
And the Falcon goes flying along

(RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES)
He is Darth Vader
He's a Jedi hater
He dies much later
In episode six

(ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY)
Obi-Wan Kenobi, all covered in brown
He may cut your arm off, if you screw around

(LA BAMBA)
Ba-da-la-da-da-la Boba
He's the bounty hunter after Han
Under that armor, he's got nothing on

(POP GOES THE WEASEL)
I love the Star Wars movies, a trio without equal
And now it's time for Episode One, pop goes the prequel

(LA CUCARACHA)
The Phantom Menace, The Phantom Menace
Who're ya gonna see it with?
Share a Cola with Sebulba
Or have some popcorn with the Sith

(JINGLE BELLS)
Jar Jar Binks, Jar Jar Binks
His floppy ears are giant
They rendered 'im, with a Pentium
Let's hope he's Y2K compliant

(CAMPTOWN RACES)
Watch pod races in the heat, ka-boom, ka-boom
Anakin needs a booster seat, oh the Tatooine day

(SHE'LL BE COMIN' ROUND THE MOUNTAIN)
They'll be flyin' round Naboo when they come
They'll be fightin' battle droids of the Federation
Hey those light sabres, sound just like electric razors
They'll be flyin' 'round Naboo when they--

(COME ALL YE FAITHFUL)
Come all ye forceful
To the THX theatre

(HALLELUJAH)
Queen Amidala
Amidala, Amidala
She's a hot tamale
Natalie, marry me!

(HAVA NAGILA)
The saga, starts with Obi-
Wan Kenobi, and Qui Gon-Jinn

Those guys, were Jedis
With light sabres, and hair extensions

Anakin's a little boy
But someday, he will destroy
The Jedi knights, in galactic fights
With ships and battle droids

He knew, R2-
D2 on Naboo

Luke and Leia, Ben and Yoda
Jabba, Chewie, Han and Boba
Ewoks, Jawas, and the Gungans
And that guy from Pulp Fiction

Ships attacking, creatures biting
and Darth Maul was Kung Fu fighting
Good and Evil, Fate and Mystery
And the coolest toys in retail history
Episode One...
Shut up, the movie has begun

(SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT)
That's The Phantom Medley
The End
