== Lyrics ==
When I meet The Doctor
Once I prove my worth
And then I meet The Doctor.
What I've waited for since, since birth!
And with all his doctor wisdom
By my looks he won't be blinded.
Do you think The Doctor is dumb
Or like Oods he's so small minded? No.
He'll say to me I see who you truly are, Jack
A man on whom I can rely.
And thats how we'll begin
The Doctor and I.
Once you're with The Doctor
Your whole life will change
'Cos once you're with The Doctor
You are not estranged.
No mother is not proud of you.
No brother acts ashamed.
And all of Time has to love you
When by The Doctor you're acclaimed.
And this gift or this curse I have inside
Maybe it lasts don't know why.
When we are hand in hand
The Doctor and I.
And one day he'll say to me, Jack my boy
A man who is so superior
Shouldn't a man who's so good inside
Have a different exterior?
And some folks believe it's a fantasy
That in you there's a good man to see
So they'll appreciate you.
May I de-fabricate you?!
And no of course that's no important to me
Or right why not? I'll reply.
Oh what a pair we'll be
The Doctor and I?
Yes! What a pair we'll be
The Doctor and...
Unlimited. My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know it sounds truly crazy
And true the vision's hazy
But I swear someday they'll be
A celebration throughout Time
Thats all to do with me.
And I'll stand there with The Doctor
Feeling things I never felt.
And though I never show it
I'll be so happy I could melt.
And so it will be for the rest of my life
And I want nothing else 'til I die.
Held in such high esteem.
When people see me they will scream.
As part of TV's favourite team
The Doctor and I.
