Jabba on the dais

Ooo, Jabba on the Dais
Ooo, Jabba on the Dais
Ooo, Jabba on the Dais, ooo!

If I told you half the things I've heard about this Jabba the Hutt, you'd probably short-circuit.

Jabba on the Dais
Jab, Jab, Jabba on the Dais
on the dais (repeat 15x)
on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
Jabba on the Dais!

A dingy palace in the desert flats of Tatooine
a drunken revelry of aliens so cross and mean
amidst the smokey haze and intergalactic chaos
There sprawls the mighty one himself, look! It's Jabba on the Dais
Like a two ton slug upon a concrete throne
he swigs his brandy as he tosses his rancor a bone
springin' trap doors on dancers when they won't put out
this hutt is vile beyond comparison, there ain't no doubt!

on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
Jabba on the dais

At Jabba's side is perched the cackaling Salacious Crumb
who rips at Threepio's eye sockets with his scaly thumb
while on the stage Max Rebo Band sing and play
and through the door comes Skywalker to save the day!
Han Solo's chillin' on the wall when Chewie's brought before
the court of Jabba where C-3PO's knocked to the floor
the thermal detinator and disguise are really Leia's
as she makes a bogus deal with mighty JABBA ON THE DAIS!

on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
Jabba on the dais

In the corner Boba's macking with that dancing chick
while Bib Fortuna's falling for Luke's old Jedi mind trick
Lando tries to be unnoticed though he bumps his head
and Princess Leia's talking smack but gets chained up instead!
the rancor's stomach is growlin' but he'll soon be dead
'cause master Luke is gonna drop a blast door on his head
and now the revelry is silenced from it's drunken chaos,
and a floppin' and a flailin', Jabba's bitchin' on the dais!

on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
Jabba on the dais

on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
Jabba on the dais

Vader made me
Do it to him, baby!
Vader made me
Do it to him, baby!
Vader made me
Do it to him, baby!
Yeeaaa yeeaa yeeaahh!!
Yeeaaa yeeaa yeeaahh!!
Jabba, Jabba, please unlock me!
Jabba, Jabba, please unlock me!
Jabba, Jabba, please unlock me!
Yeeaaa yeeaa yeeaahh!!
Yeeaaa yeeaa yeeaahh!!

on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
on the dais
on the dais, on the dais
Jabba on the dais
