[matril]

Another long one that covers a lot of scenes. At this rate I'll have Episode I entirely covered before much longer. Because I'm obsessive.

INVASION OF NABOO
(Original)

Qui-Gon: Look round, and see the battle droids have come
Get down, don’t move unless you wish for death
Look down, you fool, they’ll kill you if you run
Look round, that could have been your final breath

Jar Jar: Meesa called Jar Jar Binks, my say
Meesa your humble servant now

Qui-Gon: No need for that, go on your way

Jar Jar: But all the gods demand my vow!

Obi-Wan: Master, I’ve come, what’s this that you have found?

Qui-Gon: Nothing, a local; now let’s run
More battle droids will surely come around

Jar Jar: What did you say? It’s still not done?

My show you
Where to flee
Follow me, follow me!

But no! They said I’m banished from my home

Obi-Wan: Still, better there than dying on the run

(They dive into the water and enter Otoh Gunga)
Boss Nass: What is this you do?
Bringing trouble here
Nothing good you bring
And we give nothing in return

Qui-Gon: What of the Naboo?
Hold their safety dear

Obi-Wan: You both affect each other
And this lesson you must learn

Boss Nass: Doesn’t matter here

Qui-Gon: Then speed us on our way

Boss Nass: Wesa gonna help you as you speed along your way
Going through the core
A bongo is the thing

Jar Jar: My afraid you dying there
Unless a guide you bring

Obi-Wan: We haven’t got much time

Qui-Gon: This has me thinking twice
This Gungan might be useful and it won’t hurt to be nice

Jar Jar: Any help would be nice
Any help would be nice

Qui-Gon: What is the fate of Jar Jar Binks?

Boss Nass: He’ll have the treatment he deserves

Qui-Gon: By all your gods, his fate is mine
Since I have twice his life preserved

Boss Nass: Take him with you then
And be gone for good

Jar Jar: Scared of dying in the core
Just like a coward should
Like me should, like me should

(In Theed)
Sio Bibble: Transmission’s gone and we all know
That means invasion from our foes

Panaka: We have no way to fight them off

Amidala: How long before they come for us?
Before we hear the dreadful battle’s roar?
Before we’ve fallen into war?

(In the core)
Qui-Gon: Thanks to the Force, we’ll make it through
In every peril, we’ll prevail
Always a bigger fish or two

Jar Jar: My never live to tell this tale!

(In Theed, rescuing the queen’s party)

Qui-Gon: Let’s leave Naboo
And go to Coruscant
Get to your ship and fly away

Sabé: Running away
Is not the course I want

Qui-Gon: Flee and you’ll live another day

Padmé: We are brave

Sabé: Then we’ll go
Let us go

Qui-Gon: So we’ll go!
Look round, and see our journey’s just begun
And so we’ll fight until the battle’s won
