lyrics

You thought they smelled bad on the outside,
these rideable lizards with fur,
but if you’re snowbound and need a ride,
there is no foot more sure.


Their lengthy claws can cut through ice
With double nostrils they’ll smell you twice
Through snow and wind they’ll persevere
They’re trusty through and through.
Their climate can be challenging
Their tail is great for balancing
They bound around from there to here
Like a funky kangaroo. You…
surely can’t survive on Hoth without them.
Without them Echo Base would just be screwed.

Han! You’re riding on a double taun.
You’re stylin’, got your parka on.
You’re searchin’ because Luke is gone
on your one ton tauntaun!

Han! You’re crusin’ like the Autobahn,
in a furry hat like Genghis Kahn,
with crazy strides just like LeBron,
on your one ton tauntaun!

They’re faster than a cannonball,
They’re sure-footed, but that’s not all,
The sounds they make are quite unique,
and once again, they stink.
At least they have a lot of fur
To cover up their foul blubber
You can lead a tauntaun to water
But on the planet Hoth it’s ice. They...
were running wild before the rebels tamed them,
now to a higher cause they lend their paws.

Han! You’re riding on a double taun.
You’re stylin’, got your parka on.
You’re searchin’ because Luke is gone
On your one ton tauntaun!

Han, you’re crusin’ like the Autobahn,
in a furry hat like Genghis Kahn,
with crazy strides just like LeBron,
on your one ton tauntaun!

Tauntaun
