Episode: V

Notes: The climactic end scene of "The Empire Strikes Back". Who's your daddy?

Your cut is fine
and your technique's right
I see you've trained,
know how to fight
You've learned the Force
since last we met
but kid, you're not
a Jedi yet.
Come on,

Come on,
Lay it on me
All right..

I'm telling you
gotta come with me
I thought it was
"all too easy".
You fought me well
but now you're beat
It doesn't have
to be defeat

We can both destroy the Emp'ror
He has seen it can be done,
Then we'll rule the place together
As Skywalker and Son!

Because I'm Dad! I'm Dad, come on
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
You know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, you know it.
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Y'know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, c'mon, y'know
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
You can join me, Luke, or perish right now
Let me tell you once again:
Who's Dad?

Han gave a shout
you came along
Stand by my side,
where you belong!
You just don't know,
you need insight-
how powerful
is the Dark Side!
You're just a kid
You're not a man
It's obvious
You need a hand

You don't realise your importance
cause your Dad's the chosen one
And what's running through your veins is
my midichlorians,

Because I'm Dad! I'm Dad, come on
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
You know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, you know it.
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Y'know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, c'mon, y'know
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
I was Anakin, I'm bad and I'm proud
Let me tell you once again
Who's Dad?

(solo- Vader dances)

Oh, and by the way- you're grounded
Son, look me in the face
And you're getting no allowance
You'd better change your ways,

Because I'm Dad! I'm Dad, come on
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
You know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, you know it.
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Y'know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, y'know it, y'know
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Woo! Woo! Woo!

Yes I'm your Dad, I'm Dad, come on
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
You know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, you know it.
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Y'know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, c'mon, y'know
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Woo! Woo! Woo!

Luke I'm your Dad, I'm Dad, come on
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
You know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, you know it.
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Y'know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, y'know it, y'know
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Woo! Woo! Woo!

Because I'm Dad, I'm Dad, come on
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
You know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, you know it.
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
Y'know I'm Dad, I'm Dad, y'know it, y'know
(Dad, Dad, really really Dad)
I was Anakin, I'm bad and I'm proud
Let me tell you once again
Who's Dad?
