Chorus:
It is a period of civil war,
The spaceships of the rebels, striking swift
From base unseen, have gaind a victry oer
The cruel Galactic Empire, now adrift.
Amidst the battle, rebel spies prevaild
And stole the plans to a space station vast,
Whose powrful beams will later be unveild
And crush a planet: tis the DEATH STAR blast.
Pursud by agents sinister and cold,
Now Princess Leia to her home doth flee,
Delivring plans and a new hope they hold:
Of bringing freedom to the galaxy.
In time so long ago begins our play,
In star-crossed galaxy far, far away.
