For years I thought
I’d have to live alone
I never got a letter
Had to disconnect the phone
The only girls I ever saw
Were on TV
But now I’ve got a Venus
Who’s sitting next to me
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Would I give my life
To you if I could?
Do birds fly?
Do fish swim?
And do bears sha-la-la-la-la
In the woods?
Rowan:
I met her in the first class lounge
Of a jumbo jet
It was love at first sight
Romeo and Juliet
Kate:
He looked pretty rich
And I was down on m’ luck
So I charged him a fortune
For a flying f…
Rowan:
…for crying out loud!
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Would I sacrifice my life
To you if I could?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Is Luxembourg small?
And do those hairy bears shhh…
In the woods?
Rowan:
I introduced her round my friends
She was ace
I was no longer on Earth
But in better place
Kate:
He’s an utter creep and he
Drives me round the bend
And so to alleviate the boredom
I sleep with his friends
Rowan:
Ho ha ho
Both:
Do I love you?
Do I want you?
Kate:
Would I tear out both my eyes
And fry them if I could?
Both:
Is the Bible fiction?
Is True Love a contradiction?
And do bears sha-la-la-la-la
In the woods?
Do I desire you?
Do I adore you?
Rowan:
Would I cut off all my toenails
And put them in an envelope with my feet?
Both:
Is Reagan Godhead?
Is Chairman Mao dead?
And do those bears sha-la-la-la-la?
Rowan [really Tim Brooke-Taylor]:
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-ah
Kate:
Mmmmm…
Rowan [Tim]:
And do those bears sha-la-la-la-la?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-ah
Liz and the Third Doctor from Dimensions in Time. Frankly, there was far too much of everyone else (yes, even my beloved Sarah! Jane!) and they all cut in to Liz’s screentime.
I’m not a huge River fan, but she could definitely grow on me. I mean, look: I Could. Not. Stand. Liz the first time I saw her (ummm, Inferno, anyone? With alt-universe scary Section Leader Elizabeth Shaw and her scarier wig?) and good Lord, it took me forever to even sort of like Jo. Dare I even admit to thinking Sarah! Jane! a bit ridiculous in the first couple of serials I watched?
And now, all three ladies have won me over to the point of absolute distraction.
So. There’s a strong possibility of total River love some day, though it will never be equal to or greater to the Liz, Jo, and Sarah! Jane! love that absolutely rules my world.
