Exploding the Gaffer

G          F                     dm
Out in the garden's a half-dozen Daleks
    G         F           am           em
And he's only bluffing; I just want to bust through
     G              F                    dm
Some walls but he's told me unless I can prove
          G            am            F em am
That it's dangerous, I can't blow it up

He's gonna wangle a deal with the Cybermen--
Cheesey excuse for a witless chase scene down
Some halls but he's told me unless I can prove 
That it's dangerous, I can't blow it up.

(bridge: dm G am F am   G F G F G F)

CHORUS:
C                     am     G               F
Suddenly the set's in pieces, the arc-lights all blow
C                          am
Something smells like it's burning
G        F
Have I exploded the gaffer?
C                 am
Not till the Yeti bore you
G                 F
Not till the Yeti bore you
                    G C
can I blow them up

I try to act smartest and run for the TARDIS
but something appears in my way it's a man in a 
suit made of rubber and odd bits of carpet
Is it dangerous?  Can I blow it up now?

He changes his mood and says shoot when it suits you
I'm game, so I aim, but I can't and the prop-man's to blame
'Cause sometimes it's hard to know if he's 
Loaded it right.  Can I blow it up now?

CHORUS

I won't explode people that I am told not to
It isn't bloodthirsty to shoot at the first evil grin
But Professor, unless you give in,
I don't stand a chance of blasting anything at all
No, not a thing
I can't blow it up.

CHORUS
