A/N: This one took me weeks. Well, you just try finding suitable rhymes for 'Mandalorian'...


"I am the very model of a modern Mandalorian"

The scene: A gang of Dark Jedi confronts the party as they are searching for the first Star Map. Just as the others are preparing to do battle, Bastila steps forward...

BASTILA
Hold, monsters! Ere the members of your sorry band
Proceed to drag us all to Korriban,
Just bear in mind that we are Jedi Padawans,
And our crewmate is a Mandalorian!

DARK JEDI (sarcastic)
We'd better pause, and reassess our plan!
Their crewmate is a Mandalorian!

ALL
Yes, yes, he is a Mandalorian!

CANDEROUS
Yes, yes, I am a Mandalorian!

CARTH
For he is a Mandalorian!

ALL
He is; hurrah for the Mandalorian!

CANDEROUS
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Mandalorian!

ALL
It is! Hurrah for the Mandalorian,
Hurrah for the Mandalorian!

CANDEROUS
I am the very model of a modern Mandalorian,
I wipe the floor with mercenaries human and Gamorrean,
I know our code of honour, and I quote the battles glorious
From Coruscant to Malachor, with diligence laborious.
I'm happy to regale you all with details of our finest raids,
I'll bore you half insane with talk of battle droids and stun grenades,
About our many victories I brim with trivialities,
With many cheerful facts about the number of fatalities!

ALL
With many cheerful facts about the number of fatalities,
With many cheerful facts about the number of fatalities,
With many cheerful facts about the number of fatali-talities!

CANDEROUS
I'm very good at strategy and calculations tactical,
I'm excellent at theory and better at the practical,
In short, when fighting adversaries, Sith or Iridorian,
I am the very model of a modern Mandalorian!

ALL
In short, when fighting adversaries, Sith or Iridorian,
He is the very model of a modern Mandalorian!

CANDEROUS
I know our recent history, Darth Revan's and the Mandalore's,
The downfall of our leader, who'd been beaten by no man before;
I quote our guiding principles at every opportunity,
The weak and the contemptible I slaughter with impunity.
I can tell Echani weaponry from Zabrak and Arkanian,
I've armour fit for outer space or climates subterranean,
Then I can use a blaster withan aptitude so staggering,
I really can't be blamed for the occasional swaggering!

ALL
He really can't be blamed for the occasional swaggering,
He really can't be blamed for the occasional swaggering,
He really can't be blamed for the occasional swagger-swaggering!

CANDEROUS
Then I can write a battle chant in Aurebesh or Rodian,
And understand the language of a Jawa or Neimodian;
In short, when fighting adversaries, Sith or Iridorian,
I am the very model of a modern Mandalorian!

ALL
In short, when fighting adversaries, Sith or Iridorian,
He is the very model of a modern Mandalorian!

CANDEROUS
In fact, when I know what is meant by all the Jedi prattling,
When I can find a cause to give some purpose to our battling,
When I can see there's more to life then being just a warrior,
And when for all my crimes I'm maybe just a little sorrier;
When I have learned why Jagi is so eager to be rid of me,
When I have more concern for others' feelings than a kid of three,
In short, when I've a vague idea of what could be worth fighting for,
You'll say that such a Mandalorian might be worth sighting more!

ALL
You'll say that such a Mandalorian might be worth sighting more,
You'll say that such a Mandalorian might be worth sighting more,
You'll say that such a Mandalorian might be worth sighting, sighting more!

CANDEROUS
For my military knowledge is so thorough and meticulous,
To waste it all on lesser foes seems utterly ridiculous;
But still, when fighting adversaries, Sith or Iridorian,
I am the very model of a modern Mandalorian!

ALL
But still, when fighting adversaries, Sith or Iridorian,
He is the very model of a modern Mandalorian!
