Travel Companions

Lyrics

I've been Traveling with the Doc, but only just for a minute We arrived on a spot and quickly became the victims of a Mental assault Strange aliens attacking his brain to make it stop, he asked me to keep him chatting It gave him a focus, so he could start to battle them He started babbling 'bout all the people he met traveling I didn't know so many more came before me, and in his rough state, he began to tell their stories First: his granddaughter Susan Loved what he was doin', even when the Time Lords refused him Even when he stole a capsule to get in some travel She went with him, that old man would need some humanoid companionship And the git got more than he bargained when he parked in a junkyard on Earth Susan got followed Her teachers wanted to speak ta' her guardian, but then it only got worse for Chatterton and Barbara Now on a journey through Time and Space Hated them at the start, but Earthlings grew on him He knew Sue was in love with one, so he left her behind Who wouldn't want the best for their granddaughter? That was a trend starter, meet folks, lose folks, rescue them from slaughter like Vicky, or Stevan Taylor, stowaway on the TARDIS Conflicts with aliens will get some of them in real danger Sara Kingdom aged ta' an early death was I next? Katarina kidnapped and blown out an airlock How long have I got? Shook my head and ignored the thought Meeting people didn't stop anyway Dodo sneezed nearly killed the human race Ben and Polly saw him regenerate to a newer face Victoria saved from Daleks An unlikely pair, you could say of Astrophysicist genius and the warrior that came from Scotland circa Seventeen-Forty-Six That was Zoe and Jamie, forced to forget their trips after Doc got caught by his people again That was a trend Forced regeneration and left to fend for himself on Earth, he just went to work for UNIT A Task Force overqualified to do it In charge was the Brigadier Lethbridge Stuart, Liz Shaw on the Science Jo Grant got into it thanks to Daddy pulling strings, but proved herself when things got hellish won't regret it, cause the planet got defended on a weekly basis Enter: Sarah Jane Smith, a brave investigative journalist, one of his favorites Harry Sullivan came a few times, but faced it, he wasn't really up for the unpredictable changes in Life, and Sarah Jane was forbidden to go with him to his home Wasn't for long that he travelled alone He met the Sevateem Tribe warrior named Leela, put a knife to your neck if you ever displease her But she just stayed behind with K-9 on Gallifrey, and she was safe, so that's fine, he made the Mark Two Then forced to talk to the White Guardian and get a new partner too Romanadvoratrelundar: a sub par Time Lady at the start, but proved to have the smarts to find the Key to Time In time, she had the heart for adventure That led them to E-Space where she stayed aground They found a boy named Adric, a stowaway, continued with him, met Nyssa and Tegan to know the weight of loss: to lose an aunt, a father, entire home planet, and Adric on a ship that crashed in- To Earth in the past This act wiped out the dinosaurs Can't cross your timeline to save people you might've lost That would rip a whole in the Space-Time Continuum "brave heart, Tegan" They all got on, and continued with adventures The venture became too much eventually Nyssa left to heal the sick, Tegan, to save her sanity But not before Turlough arrived alien working for the Black Guardian as a spy This seemed to be a theme: Kamelion, an android, taken over by the Master for evil schemes Turlough repented, went back to his people Kamelion accepted that he'd never be free so, he Asked to be dropped Got stopped from kidnapping a young botany student with a very odd accent by the name of Peri, wearing very low scoop tops Melanie was almost the opposite, 'cause she knew lots, always had a sunny disposition and a photographic memory If you ever need something blown to smithereens, best call an Ace But don't ever call her Dorothy, called him the Professor, while Grace called him abnormal She had no idea when she was operating on him, he had Two hearts Nearly stopped his regeneration, but played a huge part in stopping Armageddon But he couldn't stop forgetting what he did for what seemed like a lotta years, maybe nine Then he said the name "Rose," when I tried, to find out more about her, he just said "another time, another place" Adam Mitchell was a waste Better off with Captain Jack, despite his flirting ways set to "maximum" Mickey finally came, 'cause he was jealous of the action when Rose was away But he lost all of them, an accident, too much to explain Martha Jones first got trapped in a Hospital on the moon But pretty soon she was traveling with the Doc He told me of an alt' timeline when the Master had nearly killed them all but she acted with the utmost of courage, just to save him, her fam' and the whole planet She stayed, he left to hang with a temp from Chiswick who was more than she insisted she was, because, simply she was to become the most important person in the universe Stopped the Daleks, but at a price: forget it or lose the rest of her Life Her mind would burn, so the Doc had to block the trauma She'd never know that aliens would be singing 'bout Donna This drama proved to be too much He needed a break, despite meeting Astrid, or Wilfred or Jackson Lake, or meeting Lady Christina DeSouza or Adelaide on Mars Had a little problem there playing God New start, met Amy Pond, "the girl who waited too long" Nearly lost her husband to the past and her daughter to the Future Then there was Doctor River Song, had Romance in reverse, knew all about him while he grew ta' fall in love Sadly that's not enough Angels would stop the run of good luck with Amy and Rory Sent back to the past This changes the story of their whole life They were trapped, but together, so they made it through alright But "wrong" for the Doc, who was lost and distraught, 'til he came across a girl of impossibilities, burnt chocolate soufflé, and stories carried in a leaf And then a little later, he met me
