== Lyrics ==
:I ... am the very model of a Gallifreyan buccaneer,
:I've information on all things a Gallifreyan holds most dear.
:I've linked into the Matrix through its exitronic circuitry,
:I understand dimensional and relative chronometry.
:I'm very well acquainted too with matters of the Capitol,
:I'll give you verse and chapter on panopticonian protocol.
:I've been into the Death Zone and I've played the Game of Rassilon,
:Rassilon? Assilon? Bassilon? Aha!
:with pestilential monsters that I got a lot of hassle from.
::With pestilential monsters that he got a lot of hassle from!
::With pestilential monsters that he got a lot of hassle from!
::With pestilential monsters that he got a lot of hassle-assle from!
:I understand each language and I speak every vernacular,
:I'll conjugate each verb obscure, decline each line irregular.
:In short in every matter that a Gallifreyan holds most dear I am the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer!
::In short in every matter that a Gallifreyan holds most dear he is the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer!
:I've tackled shady Castellans with devious behaviour,
:I've sparred with Time Lord chancellors like Thalia, Goth, or Flavia.
:In fact on some occasions I've held office presidentially,
:though maybe I won't mention I was ousted out eventually.
:I know just how it feels to be a wanted man and on the run,
:but wouldn't leave the carefree buccaneering life for anyone.
:Though sometimes my adventures seem absurdly operatical,
:Operatical? Hatical? Patical? Aha!
:With ups and downs and twists and turns and incidents piratical.
::With ups and downs and twists and turns and incidents piratical!
::With ups and downs and twists and turns and incidents piratical!
::With ups and downs and twists and turns and incidents pirati-ratical!
:I've sailed the seven seas of Earth and all the oceans of the Moon,
:My trusty true Type 40 is my Gallifreyan picaroon.
:But is this really what the average Gallifreyan holds most dear?
:I wonder what they think about this Gallifreyan Buccaneer.
::But is this really what the average Gallifreyan holds most dear? We wonder what they think about this Gallifreyan Buccaneer.
:But...
:I've defeated evil robots such as Daleks, Quarks and Cybermen.
:I've overthrown dictators from Tobias Vaughn to Mavic Chen.
:I've rescued helpless maidens from the devastating Viking hordes.
:Vanquished Autons, Axons, Dæmons, Krotons, Monoids, Vampires, Voords.
:I've liberated planets and delivered them from total war,
:saved Earth, Manussa, Dulkis, Skonnos, Earth, Tigella, Earth once more.
:In short I know I am the truest Rassilonian legatee.
:Legatee? Decatee? Hecate? Hecate? Hmm, not sure if that's canonical. Aha, I have it!
:And so to Time Lords all I say remember me to Gallifrey.
::A sentiment we all agree remember him to Gallifrey!
::A sentiment we all agree remember him to Gallifrey!
::A sentiment we all agree remember him to Galli-allifrey!
:I'm not content to just observe - I am a bold adventurer,
:though other Time Lords mock this Gallifreyan interventioner.
:I know in every matter that a Time Lord really should hold dear I am the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer!
::We know in every matter that a Time Lord really should hold dear he is the very model of a Gallifreyan Buccaneer!
