Jelly Baby - !!!NEW!!!

Today is Tom Baker's 91st birthday(!) and being an avid Whovian what else was I going to do a parody song about?

Hallelujah Jelly Baby not by Leonard Cohen I know that you have heard it before
It was spoken by a great timelord
The mem'ry of it surely isn't hazy
You know I mean the fourth doctor
With his long scarf and crazy hair
Who says now would you like a jelly baby

Jelly baby, jelly baby
Jelly baby, jelly baby

The longest of the incarnations
Seven years til regen'ration
He travelled through all of time and space daily
With K9 and his companions
He encountered many aliens
And asked would you like a jelly baby

Jelly baby, jelly baby
Jelly baby, jelly baby

He travelled far, he travelled wide
He never knew what he might find
But he and the TARDIS were never lazy
He battled foes, he battled fears
And through the smiles and through the tears
He said would you like a jelly baby

Jelly baby, jelly baby
Jelly baby, jelly baby

He did his best through all of time
To make sure that the earth was fine
And keep it safe from anything that may be
A danger to all us humans
Until the day his time had come
He said would you like a jelly baby

Jelly baby, jelly baby
Jelly baby, jelly baby

Jelly baby, jelly baby
Jelly baby, jelly baby

Jelly baby, jelly baby
Jelly baby, jelly baby

Jelly baby, jelly baby
Jelly baby, jelly baby

Gallifrey - !!!NEW!!!

Very late with this month's posts but hopefully it's a case of better late than never.

As I spent to today at a Whovian event, both of today's/this month's contributions are influenced by that particular interest, starting with...

Galway Girl Gallifrey not by Ed Sheeran 
It wasn’t really something that I planned
When I fell in love with a young human
Found she was in peril and so I took her by the hand
Said, "Run” and that’s how it began 

I met her in London in the basement of a store
Where she was then being attacked by plastic mannequins galore
Though after we split up soon I was led right back to her
Where I met her boyfriend Mickey and, of course, her mother
Worked out that the Nestene was the whole reason why
And together we tracked it back to its base at the London Eye
Chat didn’t work but luckily for me
Rose helped me to escape then we both could flee

It wasn’t really something that I planned
When I fell in love with a young human
Found she was in peril and so I took her by the hand
Said, "Run” and that’s how it began
‘Cause I am the man from Gallifrey
Yes I am the man from Gallifrey

You know we faced all sorts of villains not just the Nestene
Like Gelth, the Jagrafess, Reapers and not forgetting the Slitheen
Who could have guessed what kind of adventures lay in store
When I invited Rose behind my blue door
I never thought the Daleks would be alive today
But beat our first encounter thanks to human DNA
Oh, we thought we were doing well and were so very smart
But little did we know soon it would be time to part

It wasn’t really something that I planned
When I fell in love with a young human
Found she was in peril and so I took her by the hand
Said, "Run” and that’s how it began
‘Cause I am the man from Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey

Soon we were up against the wall also out of time
The Daleks were after their newest chance to shine
Found that I couldn’t complete my grand design
But then Rose opened the TARDIS and she won the fight
(I) absorbed the light, took her back inside
But then every cell in my body it started to die
I reassured her that there was no need for fright
‘Cause I’m from Gallifrey and it’ll be alright

It wasn’t really something that I planned
When I fell in love with a young human
Found she was in peril and so I took her by the hand
Said, "Run” and that’s how it began
‘Cause I am the man from Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Gallifrey

Man From Gallifrey - !!!NEW!!!

I recently joined a Doctor Who themed group so naturally I had to do some Whovian parody songs. Starting with this twist on an Adam Ant classic.

Stand And Deliver Man From Gallifrey not by Adam & The Ants
I'm the time travelling man who you've heard people mention
I’m fighting crime through space and time and relative dimensions
The Daleks want your planet Earth they’ll soon get your attention (oh-oh)
But don’t you fret ‘cause they’ll soon find I’m here to ease the tension

Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Stopping all invasions when aliens are rife

I'm the time travelling man so sick of Cyberman schemes
Those metal brutes in silver suits who want you to join their team
I don’t know why they all bother when they know I’m close at hand (oh oh)
And soon they see they can’t beat me their armies I will disband

Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Stopping all invasions when aliens are rife

And even though I beat them all
I know they will return
Return

I’m the time travelling man - I will fight the Master
‘Cause whatever he is plotting it will be a disaster
I’m the time travelling man and with my screwdriver (oh oh)
I’ll defeat all enemies and prove earth’s a survivor

Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Stopping all invasions when aliens are rife

And even though I beat them all
I know they will return
Return

Time timey wimey time timey wimey
Time timey wimey time timey wimey
Time timey wimey time timey wimey
Time timey wimey time timey wimey

Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
Man from Gallifrey I’m here to save your life
