about

Yes, it's spelled wrong on the album. What are you gonna do? At least it's correct here.

lyrics

Princess Leia
Music: Simon and Garfunkle
lyrics: Gary Hanak
TTO: Cecelia

Leia, you’re breakin’ my heart, how it’s working out in the series
Princess Leia, it’s not meant to be, just you and just me, no, no, no
no, no, no

Came of age on Tatooine seeing Leia on the 3-D screen ("3-D screen")
I storm her cell just to set her free,
But her first words don’t exactly endear her to me
(nasally) "Aren’t you a little short for a storm trooper?"...
(quietly) Yeah, eat me...

Leia, you’re breakin’ my heart, how it’s working out in the series
Priness Leia, it’s not meant to be, just you and just me, no, no, no
no, no, no

It’s enough to drive me nuts, Princess Leia, locked in cell block 5 ("cell block 5")
She used her brains and found a place to hide--
A trash masher that’s mashing while we’re all still inside
"This is some rescue..." "HE'S the brains, SWEETHEART!"
"3P0! Turn on your cell phone, you idiot!!"

Leia, you look so alluring, wait till we’re both maturing and you’ll see
Princess Leia, it’s so hard to be
Your bro in Episode 3 -- no, that’s 6 -- 5? -- one of those...

(...instrumental...)

Had a fight with Dad Vader - on the Death Star moon ("Death Star moon")
Made me mad - I cut off his head
‘Cause of him I can’t take Princess Leia to bed
(deep> "...Sister!...")
("oh, dude, she’s my sister! No, no...)

Leia, I had thought you were mine, but Han is trying to make time--so’s his Wookie
("so’s his Wookie", "so’s his Wookie")
Princess Leia, as a Jedi it seems
I’m allowed no more wet dreams and no nookie --
(Oh, no -- wait a minute...
No, no, no, no... Why was--why was this little tidbit never mentioned during training?")

"Oh...the Force, worth all this, is not"
