Who is the Doctor

Who is the Doctor first released in 1972, was a single performed by Jon Pertwee and arranged and written by Rupert Hine and David Maclver. More of a spoken word song than actual singing, Pertwee recites lyrics over a remix of the Doctor Who theme tune, in an almost Shatnerian style. It is the first time that one of the actors playing the Doctor has recorded music, and the first time lyrics had been set to the Doctor Who theme tune.

It was used for the end credits of the More than Thirty Years in the TARDIS video documentary.

Verse 1

 * I cross the void beyond the mind
 * The empty space that circles time
 * I see where others stumble blind
 * To seek a truth they never find
 * Eternal wisdom is my guide
 * I am the Doctor.

Verse 2

 * Through cosmic waste the TARDIS flies
 * To taste the secret source of life
 * A presence science can't deny
 * Exists within, outside, behind
 * The latitude of the human minds
 * I am the Doctor.

Verse 3

 * My voyage dissects the course of time
 * "Who knows?," you say
 * But are you right?
 * Who searches deep to find the light
 * That glows so darkly in the night
 * Toward that point I guide my flight.

Verse 4

 * As fingers move to end mankind
 * Metallic teeth begin their grind
 * With sword of truth I turn to fight
 * The satanic powers of the night
 * Is your faith before your mind?
 * Know me
 * Am I the Doctor?
