by Elizabeth Hensley To the tune of Around her Neck. Around her neck she wore a very long scarf! She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May, And if you asked her why the heck she wore it, She wore it for a Time Lord Who was very far away! Far away! Far away! She wore it for a Time Lord who was very far away! On her side she wears a shiny new gun. She wears it in the springtime and in the month of May! And if you asked her, "Why the heck she wears it?" She wears it for a Brigadier Who is very Far away! Far away! Far away! She wore it for a Brigadier Who was very far away! On her shirt she wears a golden star She wears it in the springtime and in the month of May And if you asked her, "Why the heck she wears it?" She wears it for Adric who is very far away! Far away! Far away! She wears it for Adric who is very far away! At her feet there sits a Metal Doggie. He sits there in the Springtime and in the month of May. And if you asked him "why the heck he sits there?" He sits there for our Savage who is very far away. Far away! Far away! He sits there for Our Savage who is very far away!

AROUND HER NECK A Fannish Filk Song
by Elizabeth Hensley To the tune of Around her Neck. Around her neck she wore a very long scarf! She wore it in the springtime and in the month of May, And if you asked her why the heck she wore it, She wore it for a Time Lord Who was very far away! Far away! Far away! She wore it for a Time Lord who was very far away! On her side she wears a shiny new gun. She wears it in the springtime and in the month of May! And if you asked her, "Why the heck she wears it?" She wears it for a Brigadier Who is very Far away! Far away! Far away! She wore it for a Brigadier Who was very far away! On her shirt she wears a golden star She wears it in the springtime and in the month of May And if you asked her, "Why the heck she wears it?" She wears it for Adric who is very far away! Far away! Far away! She wears it for Adric who is very far away! At her feet there sits a Metal Doggie. He sits there in the Springtime and in the month of May. And if you asked him "why the heck he sits there?" He sits there for our Savage who is very far away. Far away! Far away! He sits there for Our Savage who is very far away!
This is called a filk song. Some say because the tune was filched from other music. Others say it came from a typo from the word, "folk." You can see this is color with pictures at http://tinyurl.com/poemsoffaithandevolution
