Someone wanted the "Yoda" song.  I found it floating around our fortunes
file.  Preceeding the lyrics is a bit of extra wisdom.
Enjoy.

In the force if Yoda's so strong, construct a sentence with words in
the proper order then why can't he?

The STAR WARS Song
Sung to the tune of "Lola", by the Kinks:

I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant cabinet soda
S-O-D-A soda
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said Yoda
Y-O-D-A Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

Well I've been around but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a Muppet but he's wrinkled and green
Oh my Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
How he can raise me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh my Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

Well I left home just a week before
And I never ever met a Jedi before
But Obi-Wan he set me straight of course
He said "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"
Well I'm not the kind that would argue with that
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well I won't forget what Yoda said

He said "Luke stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray let the Force be your guide"
Oh my Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember if you kill him then you'll be unemployed"
Oh my Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

Well I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
'Cause I'm playing this part 'till I'm old and gray
'Cause a long term contract I had to sign
Since I'll be making these movies 'till the end of time
With my Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda

Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda, Yo-Yo-Yo-Yo Yoda
[Repeat]
