In 19 hundred and 63
These creatues graced our screen
They were filled with goo
But durable too
And exceptionally mean

They could turn your insides inside out
With a weapon such as theirs
But they couldn't run around on rough terrain
And they couldn't go up stairs!

*START CHORUS*

The Daleks, they are coming
You'd better, get away
The Daleks, they are coming
You'd better run and pray
Just get inside
And hide behind
Your sofas, boys and girls
The daleks are invading
And they want to rule the world

*END CHORUS*

The Doctor fought the Cybermen
And hardly even winced
And that big brute
In the seaweed suit
Had nobody convinced
The Master's living plastic thing
I'd probably have enjoyed
When they needed something really scary fast
The Daleks filled the void!

-- CHORUS --

Well the youngsters of today might think
They're too derivative
But I still say
That in their day
They were definitive
They predated R2 D2 Droids
In all Lucas's Star Wars
And resisting them was futile twenty
Years before the Borg!

-- CHORUS --

*START BRIDGE SECTION*

Now the Doctor's come back on TV
And he's going to save the world
And of course the Daleks make a stand
Because they can't be stopped, unless you've got
Some shaving foam or a baseball bat
Or a piece of foil or a hand grenade
Or a screwdriver or a length of rope
Or a flight of stairs or the Brigadeer
Or a piece of cheese or a bowler hat
Or anything at hand

*END BRIDGE SECTION*

Well the special effects have been improved
With all this CGI
But we've still got
This pepper pot
With a plunger on one side
But I know why the BBC
Include them still today
Cause if they'd left the Daleks out
The fans would all complain!

-- CHORUS --

[Repeat last 2 lines of chorus slowly]
