My girlfriend thinks that I'm a nutter,

My parents say that I'm an utter fool,

I just can't help avoid my fixation,
    D*                            E

But Eif you look through time then you will find, C  
So many artefacts have been Dsigned with clues, 
All pointing his way.E  
And though he Emay have different faces, 
I Cthink it's him in all the cases, 
The Dman is an enigma, 
Who knows Ewhere he is today.
Just Ghave a look at Dwhat I've found and Esee, 
GAm I going Dcrazy or is he Efollowing me, 
You can Gfind his legDacy sketched Ethroughout,
Though the Ghistory Abooks always Btend to leave him out.
He's called the EDoctorG  
But DDoctor AWhat?
I Ethink he's a GMartian though I Dknow that that's a Along Ashot
EDoctorG  
But DDoctor AWhen?
I'll check Gback to prehistoric times and Athere he is again
Well that's the EDoctorG

He Esaves the planet Gall the time but Dnever stops to Abow
Oh mister EDoctorG

He takes danger with him everywhere he goes

So if he does show up then we'll know

But I just can't help but think that I

Would make a good companion by his side
    D*                            E  
I'm pretty bright, always polite, oh Doctor take me up tonight.
I Eknow that I should get a grip
But I Cneed to see inside his ship
And Dhave him take me everywhere he Egone.
Or at Eleast I'd like to meet the guy
To Cshake his hand and say goodbye
And Dthank him for all he's Edone
You can't Gdeny Daliens Emust be real
Well is it Gthat hard to Dbelieve that Esome might be revealed to look like us
GWell I know it's Djust all Especulation but I feel I Gmust
Try to Atrust in what I Bfeel
He's called the EDoctorG  
But DDoctor AWhat?
I Ethink he's a GMartian though I Dknow that that's a Along Ashot
EDoctorG  
But DDoctor AWhen?
I'll check Gback to prehistoric times and Athere he is again

And Gmost importantly Doctor, Ahow can I find you?
GI know to you I must look like Asome kind of Neanderthal
GWhile you' re a flying cosmic Agenius and know-it-all
GI'm just an insect, Athere's nothing I can do.
GHow could I expect that AI would ever Bmeet you EDoctorG!
