Hey, Doctor

V1:
Somehow I never learned his name
Had to chase him all 'round Unit's Lanes
Fiddlin' somethin' in his hand
You could tell, he's a friend to Man-kind

Across the street I'd watch his booth
Dreamin' about what I would do
If I had the chance to travel Time
I rehearsed a heck of an opening line

Chorus:
Hey Doctor, whatcha doin' to me
I'm so in love with bein' free
But now I want to join your chase
And be a traveller in time and space
You got blue eyes and a blue phone booth
Though you beat the Daleks, admit the truth
You can't make it home. Take me along.

V2:
There's a pastry shop on Bleeker Street
Heaven in an oven, you can't pass without a treat
Stepped inside, and I started to cheer
There he was, talkin' to the Brigadeer

Chorus

Bridge
And you know in Dreams I'll live forever
Don’t mind the time flyin’ by me, no
He's just a tune I'm hummin'
All alone at night
With no Tardis

V3:
Some days you just can't win
Every day's another "begin again"
He's off again, with some young British girl
Living their lives in a temporal whirl

Chorus

Last Chorus:
Doctor LongScarf, whatcha doin' to me
I'm so in love with bein' free
But ever since I joined your chase
I been a prisoner in time and space
You got blue eyes and a blue phone booth
Though you beat the Daleks, admit the truth
You can't make it home. Take me home!

with all apologies to Dr Who and Tom Chapin

Mutant Monkey from Outer Space!

this mutant monkey is an alteration caused by not having the same guage as the creator, and then messing up and sliding the pattern repeats by 1/2 each time. the yarn is magic garden "Buttons" in 882 and the pattern, aside from the monkeyness, is basically generic, only i decreased at the sides instead of a standard gusset, a la the new sock book New Pathways for Sock Knitters!




'nother view


this sock goes to Amy, but there is one on the way for Maggie, theoretically... i can't guarantee that it'll be the same pattern, i can't guarantee Amy's second sock will be anything like this... i can't even guarantee it'll fit either one!


sigh...
