[ Tune ] ( https: //www.youtube.com/watch? v=ZIwzRkjn86w ) 
 
 T'was the year that Thrawn rose to the throne 
 
 ( How I wish I was on Taris now! ) 
 
 A recruitment gang came from the Rebs 
 
 And I swore I'd follow to riches or death 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- - 
 [ Chorus ]: 
 
 
 Stang blast them all! 
 
 I was told we'd cruise the skies for Imperial cred 
 
 We'd lose no limbs, know no dread! 
 
 Now I'm a half-droid man in a Coruscant Bar 
 
 The last of the crew of the Wild Karrde. 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
 
 Oh the Wild Karrde was a sickening sight 
 
 ( How I wish I was on Taris now! ) 
 
 Her hyperdrive work one time in four 
 
 And her guns were antiques from Mustafar 
 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- - 
 [ Chorus ]: 
 
 
 Stang blast them all! 
 
 I was told we'd cruise the skies for Imperial cred 
 
 We'd lose no limbs, know no dread! 
 
 Now I'm a half-droid man in a Coruscant Bar 
 
 The last of the crew of the Wild Karrde. 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
 
 After 18 months we found an Imp 
 
 ( How I wish I was on Taris now! ) 
 
 She was sluggish and slow and halfway wrecked 
 
 But to catch her took us twenty parsecs 
 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- - 
 [ Chorus ]: 
 
 
 Stang blast them all! 
 
 I was told we'd cruise the skies for Imperial cred 
 
 We'd lose no limbs, know no dread! 
 
 Now I'm a half-droid man in a Coruscant Bar 
 
 The last of the crew of the Wild Karrde. 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
 
 Our ion cannons stopped her cold 
 
 ( How I wish I was on Taris now! ) 
 
 Our blasters roared and our vibroblades shone 
 
 But we were beaten back by a squad of clones! 
 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- - 
 [ Chorus ]: 
 
 
 Stang blast them all! 
 
 I was told we'd cruise the skies for Imperial cred 
 
 We'd lose no limbs, know no dread! 
 
 Now I'm a half-droid man in a Coruscant Bar 
 
 The last of the crew of the Wild Karrde. 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
 
 The clones chased us back through the'lock 
 
 ( How I wish I was on Taris now! ) 
 
 I was shot in the back and thigh and hock 
 
 And I heard the cap hit the self-destruct 
 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- - 
 [ Chorus ]: 
 
 
 Stang blast them all! 
 
 I was told we'd cruise the skies for Imperial cred 
 
 We'd lose no limbs, know no dread! 
 
 Now I'm a half-droid man in a Coruscant Bar 
 
 The last of the crew of the Wild Karrde. 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
 I made the escape pod just in time 
 
 ( How I wish I was in Taris now! ) 
 
 As I blasted off our reactor blew 
 
 And I saw through the viewport the pulverized crew 
 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- - 
 [ Chorus ]: 
 
 
 Stang blast them all! 
 
 I was told we'd cruise the skies for Imperial cred 
 
 We'd lose no limbs, know no dread! 
 
 Now I'm a half-droid man in a Coruscant Bar 
 
 The last of the crew of the Wild Karrde. 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
 
 Now here I sit in my twenty-third year 
 
 ( How I wish I was on Taris now! ) 
 
 It's been ten years since we sailed away 
 
 But I just made Coruscant yesterday! 
 
 
 -- -- -- -- -- - 
 [ Chorus ]: 
 
 
 Stang blast them all! 
 
 I was told we'd cruise the skies for Imperial cred 
 
 We'd lose no limbs, know no dread! 
 
 Now I'm a half-droid man in a Coruscant Bar 
 
 The last of the crew of the Wild Karrde.
