The Eighth Doctor sang some of the lyrics. (AUDIO: The Great War [+]Loading...["The Great War (audio story)"])

"It's a long way to Tipperary,
It's a long way to go.
It's a long way to Tipperary,
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye, Piccadilly,
Farewell, Leicester Square!
It's a long long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there".
