AUTHOR'S NOTES: For my ally is caffeine, and a powerful ally it is. Hrrm?
Fly Wit' Me
Premise: Why does Han Solo live this way? It must be the money!
To: Nelly's "Ride Wit' Me"
Where's it at? (x8)
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
In the Millennium Falcon with the low fees
Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you wanna go and have a fly with me
Stashin' spice in the back with the Wookiee
Oh, why must I fly this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
In Mos Eisley on the late night, feelin' right
Lookin', tryin', to spot a customer to ship spice
Lookin' at an old Jedi I noticed so that I can get paid
(I can get paid)
He brought along a kid with an attitude
Dissin' my ship, kinda snotty, actin' real rude
But as long as you're a customer I'll take you to Alderaan
(To Alderaan)
I'll meet you down at the Docking Bay 94
Quickly, and not slow (hey)
Sayin' it's important and I think he's gone loco
So when, Solo, can we go; how could I just say no?
My life is tough, but I never ever get bored
I have to clean up Chewie's hair
People try to kill me everywhere
When I smile, all I get is a glare
And I can see Greedo's gun from way over there
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
In the Millennium Falcon with the low fees
Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you wanna go and have a fly with me
Stashin' spice in the back with the Wookiee
Oh, why must I fly this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
Even when attacked, I know how to act
Once I drop you guys off I'm bringin' nothin' back
You should see the impact, it's fantastic
'Cuz I have no limits and them hunters can't get past that
All of this is old hat, wanna get paid
Watch the asking price change, every time I switch lanes
It feels strange now
Makin' a living off my brain, instead of playin' now
I got the mission from Jabba, put the Empire on end now
I've really changed, now
Blowing up TIEs with no shame, now
It's all a game now (come on), I can't complain now (no more)
I'm dealin' pain now, in and out and all around
Blastin' all over the galaxy, and I can see
Folks tellin' me Boba Fett's after me
And can I make it? You're right, I can make the next flight
Payin' cash; first class – or I'll be in carbonite
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
In the Millennium Falcon with the low fees
Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you wanna go and have a fly with me
Stashin' spice in the back with the Wookiee
Oh, why must I fly this way? (Hey, must be the money!)

Hey, Princess, I know somethin' you don't know
And I've got somethin' to tell ya
You won't believe how many people kicked me out the door
They said that I was a failure
But now I've got bounty hunters askin' me for dough
And I'm sayin', "I won't help ya"
"But, Solo, it was so easy, they let us go!"
Heck no! (What's with you?!) You for real?!
Hey yo, now that I'm a nice guy, and I fly high
Jabba wants to know why, why I flew by
But yo, it's all good, I'm doin' what I know I should
I do what I should – I'm so good, I'm too good
We be them cool smugglers, wishin' you were too smugglers
No, we aren't drug dealers, but we can fake it
Flying the Falcon, there's big dividends
Troopers come, it's time to leave with you and your friends
So if Jabba wanna... ship, we're all shippin' this
And if Jabba wanna... steal, we're all stealin' this
And if Jabba wanna... sell, we're sellin' all this
Jabba wanna see the spice, then I get what's his
Jabba talk, Solo listen; Solo talk, Jabba dissin',
Forget the sales pitches; when I talk, pay attention
Stuck with the Princess; one too many near miss
Just have one more wish - come on Leia, gimme kiss
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
In the Millennium Falcon with the low fees
Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you wanna go and have a fly with me
Stashin' spice in the back with the Wookiee
Oh, why must I fly this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
(x2)
Hey, must be the money! (x4)
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
In the Millennium Falcon with the low fees
Oh, why do I live this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
If you wanna go and have a fly with me
Stashin' spice in the back with the Wookiee
Oh, why must I fly this way? (Hey, must be the money!)
