Martin the Manchild
   
  (Many thanks to Lisa for these lyrics).
   
  (The challenge was to include a manchild (a man in the body of a child in the body of a man – it's very complicated), pond scum, and Daleks).
   
Scod: Wish us luck, boys. Here we go. I start, don’t I?
Yon: Yes please.
 
Scod: Martin the manchild was a simple man,
  A very, very, very, very, very simple man.
  He was the man in the body of a child in the body of a man,
Yon and Gatesy: In the body of a child.
Tripod: And he was in love with a woman... child,
Yon: Which worked out quite well.
   
Gatesy: Martin and his womanchild bride,
  Whose name we haven’t specified.
  They had a simple life without the modern things like tele,
  On a farm whose principal produce was milk from cows that were,
  Fed on grass which needed to be harvested using special machines,
  That were lubricated by a particular kind of oil which was a derivative of pond scum,
  Which was generated by a particular species of frog jelly.
   
Scod: He was in love,
Tripod: With a woman,
Gatesy: And a particular species of frog jelly.
   
Yon: One sunny afternoon he was wading through the dam,
Scod: Scary bit!
Yon: Collecting pond scum in his special pond scum can.
Scod: And from beneath the murky waters he heard,
Yon: (Dalek voice) "Exterminate, exterminate!"
 
Gatesy: And as it cleared the surface of the water, he then heard,
Yon: (Normal voice) "Exterminate, exterminate!"
Scod: Which wasn’t as threatening as it first had been,
  But to a simple man it was still sufficiently threatening.
   
  And he was in love,
Tripod: With a woman,
Scod: But right now that was the furthest thing from his mind.
   
Tripod: Daleks were never noted for their brains,
  And if you know your sci-fi, you know they get around on wheels.
 
Gatesy: Right, Rosso?
Rosso: Yes, mate.
 
Tripod: They sank into the mud and rusted, broke apart and died,
  And the frog jelly feasted on their polystyrene insides.
 
Scod: For they were in love,
Tripod: With Davros,
Scod: And when you think about it, "Davros" sounds suspiciously like "Tim Ross".
 
Tripod: And the fact that you never see them in the same room together,
Scod: Suggests to me that they are either the same person or they hate each other's guts.
