C'est Moi
lyrics (c)1987
by Nancy Louise Freeman
tune: "C'est Moi" by Alan Jay Lerner & Frederick Loewe
From The Once and Future Doctor
THE DOCTOR:
The hero who saves your world should be a paragon,
A standard to which all other just aspire;
Fight a Dalek with his bare hands,
Please a million adoring fans,
Build a time-tracer with a tea tin and some wire.
He ought to complete the thorniest repair upon
Reversing the neutron flow's polarity!
But where can you find
So brilliant a mind
Who'll do all of that for free?
It's me, it's me,
I'm quick to admit,
I'm far from bashful or shy.
And here I am, by multitudes cheered,
Incredibly brave, unspeakably weird,
An all around nifty guy:
C'est moi!
