Singing those Ewok songs
I wrote fic today. There was Remus and Sirius and a motorbike and kisses against a wall in the rain. I was quite proud of it. I wrote it in present tense, then copied it into past tense because I wanted to see which one suited it better.
Then at dinner my brother, out of the blue, sang I should've been a Jedi to the tune of Toby Keith's "Should've Been a Cowboy."
Not to be outdone, I shot back, I should've learned to use the Force. It was all very funny.
After dinner, I went upstairs, and an hour later I came down with this.
Well, first of all: This is the original song.
These are the original lyrics.
And yes, there is something very, very wrong with me.
Should've Been a Jedi
originally performed by Toby Keith

I'll bet you never heard old Uncle Owen say,
"Luke, kiddo, have you ever thought of running away?
Going off to the academy,
Get the hell away, and off of Tatooine."
He'd have said yes in a Naboo minute
He couldn't run the farm, his heart wasn't in it
He'd just wave goodbye as he flew away
He never felt at home at Uncle Owen's place.
I should've been a Jedi
I should've learned to use the Force
Wielding my lightsaber, flying my X-wing, fighting rebel wars
Stealing my sister's heart
Making Darth Vader cry
Singing those Ewok songs
Oh, I should've been a Jedi.
I might've had a sidekick with a furry mane
Flying wild through the stars out in hyperspace
Twelve parsecs from the brink of danger
Making spice runs in a beat-up freighter
"Try not," Yoda said, "'cause there is no try,
You can kill the Emperor if you just don't die."
So I kissed my sister and I told my dad
I could see deep inside that he weren't all that bad!
I should've been a Jedi
I should've learned to use the Force
Wielding my lightsaber, flying my X-Wing, fighting rebel wars
Stealing my sister's heart
Making Darth Vader cry
Singing those Ewok songs
Oh, I should've been a Jedi.
Yeah, I should've been a Jedi.
I should've been a Jedi...
...Fic? What fic? XD
