Corellian Captain Solo, the smuggling scoundrel, runs from his debts for another day.
Han Solo shoots first, killing the Rodian Greedo, bounty hunter slime.
With death still looming, the Cantina Band jubilantly continues to play.

Han leaves the corpse in the booth to lay;
Meanwhile, the patrons of the pub ignore the crime.
Corellian Captain Solo, the smuggling scoundrel, runs from his debts for another day.

At the Cantina’s center, he gives the bartender money for the murder tax he must pay.
Leaving rather hastily, one thing Han does not have is time.
With death still looming, the Cantina Band jubilantly continues to play.

The Captain carries on; the Rodian had not been the last for Solo to slay.
A greater price put on Han’s head; assassins are to come hunting for the galactic grime.
Corellian Captain Solo, the smuggling scoundrel, runs from his debts for another day.

With his legendary ship, the Millennium Falcon, resting at the docking bay,
Han gathers his passengers and leaves at once. Solo cannot die in his prime!
With death still looming, the Cantina Band jubilantly continues to play.

Moving towards the exit, the Captain thinks nothing of his mere prey.
Until he realizes his perfectly timed blast was extraordinarily sublime.
Corellian Captain Solo, the smuggling scoundrel, runs from his debts for another day.
With death still looming, the Cantina Band jubilantly continues to play.
