''"For one the journey had just begun''
''Old but young his time to come''
''But soon enough the clock struck two''
''The face must change the music must too''
''So two began''
''And played it cool''
''To some extent he was a fool''
''But time it waits''
''For no one now''
''The clock ticked on to three and how''
''A dandy time''
''Spent three in time''
''But the hour of four was soon to chime''
''The longest hour was spent at four''
''But soon enough the clock crept lower''
''The dance of four began to jive''
''Passing the floor from four to five''
''Five began with great aplomb''
''But time is like a ticking bomb''
''For five the times they went to fast''
''Soon six was blasting from the past''
''Six was fresh and played it well''
''But didn't hear the ringing bell''
''The chime that brought it to an end''
''Signaled seven to start it all again''
''Dear seven''
''He gave his all for what''
''The Time Lords time''
''It did just stop''
''The bell did toll''
''For eight once more''
''But not for long''
''In Gallifreyan lore''
''Like hands of ice''
''That were frozen in time''
''The clock thawed once more''
''And struck number nine''
''So short was the time''
''That the clock struck on nine''
''The adventures were cut short''
''In space and time''
''But the clock carried on''
''With a tick and a tock''
''And soon it was striking''
''Upon ten o'clock''
''The tenth hour was long''
''With a rich honest glow''
''But tens time was up''
''He just didn't want to go ''
''But time waits for no man''
''Old one or young''
''And ten became eleven''
''The final countdown begun''
''And now its time for one last bow''
''Like all your other selves''
''Elevens hour is over now''
''The clock is striking twelves"''
