forgive me friends, for i have filked

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
