The Dalek Song

The Dalek Song

(tune: "The Lumberjack Song", Monty Python)
by: Joe Neff and Gary Ehrlich, (c) 1989

Our first filksong.


(SPOKEN: I never wanted to be a lumberjack, you know...
I wanted to be: A DALEK!
Cruising through space in my time machine,
conquering planets, subjugating their inferior races
And I would sing, sing, sing...)

I'm a Dalek and I obey
Cross my path and I'll blow you away

I travel time, I move through space
I haven't any cares
I take the elevator
'Cause I don't like the stairs

I like to conquer planets
I think it's really great
'Cause they've got lots of beings
I can EX-TER-MI-NATE

The Doctor is my enemy
And this is all I know
I'd like to see him promptly
In inverse video!

Davros is my leader
He likes to make me win
The Doctor always corners him
But he just escapes again

Now I have no more planet
No place to call my own
But I've still got my Nation
(SPOKEN: With a capital "N!")
Which can't be overthrown
