"Miracle In The 501st" - Lyrics by Spencer Klinell, Performed by Glen Nelson
The Five-O-First Legion
Was out on the job
To brave the cold weather
And face a great mob
The medical center
Was filled and adorned
No one will forget
That bright Christmas morn
The troopers reported
To please all the kids
And passed out their presents
As command made their bids
A rookie arrived
And to his dismay
His uncle, the sergeant
Was there, dressed to play
Hearts of children near and far
Careless of their age
Come united in their joy
Across time and space
The Rook was a greenhorn
Saw Episode One
When he was just seven
Had toys set for stun
The Sarge was devoted
Since seventy-eight
His guns set to kill
On the prequels he hates
Their quarrels were legend
And often they'd burst
On what was more real
And who had shot first
But one a sandtrooper
The younger, a clone
Saw the kids with Darth Vader
And the smiles they've shown
REPEAT CHORUS:
By the tree, the Rook spoke
How his fandom began
Then the Sergeant came up
With his helmet in hand
The Rookie was wondering
If he crossed the line
Then the Sergeant had said
"Merry Christmas, you Shiny"
Then out of his helmet
The Sarge pulled and gave
A mint Kenner set
To his nephew who raved
The whole place was watching
Their jaws falling flat
The Salvation Army
Had nothing like that
MODULATION:
While the folks at Times Square
Were dropping a ball
The Rook gave his uncle
A bust of Darth Maul
A New Hope was playing
On the Sarge's shelf
The Death Star exploded
At the stroke of twelve
A New Year Began
But they argued again
On what base they take
Every now and then
But they laugh in alliance
And they both like to say
What they spoke of before
On that Christmas Day
REPEAT CHORUS:
REPEAT CHORUS: ("United in their Christmas joy")
Fun - but I wish you didn't have the red "lens flare" overlay. It's definitely distracting, and by the end, annoying.

Awesome! I had actually heard this on the ForceCast Galaxy of Music and was practically checking your channel every day so see it you'd post the video :D
