lyrics

You’d think that life would be a breeze
when you’re cute as a Pekingese,
but it’s not all sun and rainbows
when you live among the trees.

If you’re an Ewok,
Your work is never done.
There’s always berries to be foraged
or danger to outrun

And when they build a Death Star
in your very backyard
you can’t just stand idly by
in your hut in the sky.

Because it takes a village
(de fratta weewa)
That’s right, an Ewok village
(oo Ewok weewa)
up in the canopies
(de oppra kha na)
to save the galaxy
(Allay loo ta yub nub)

You’d think that life would be ducky
when you’re cuddly as a puppy,
but the Ewok way is struggling,
they’re not only for snuggling.

Just look at Wicket--
He’s cute and full of cheer,
but he knows his way around a bow
and wields a wicked spear

And when you raze their little homes
to erect a killing dome
you’ll find that these balls of hair
are much more than teddy bears

Because it takes a village
(de fratta weewa)
That’s right, an Ewok village
(oo Ewok weewa)
up in the canopies
(de oppra kha na)
to save the galaxy
(Allay loo ta yub nub)

They just look so sweet
as they take down a fleet
of Walkers in the forest skies.
With rocks and logs as weapons
they teach the Empire a lesson
to judge not creatures by their size.

Because it takes a village
(de fratta weewa)
That’s right, an Ewok village
(oo Ewok weewa)
up in the canopies
(de oppra kha na)
to save the galaxy
(Allay loo ta yub nub)

Oh yeah, it takes a village
(de fratta weewa)
That’s right, an Ewok village
(oo Ewok weewa)
by the name of Bright Tree
(cha sheeu nee foom)
to save the galaxy
(Allay loo ta yub nub)
