lyrics

He stood upon his toilet seat,
One dark and dreary day,
And suddenly that seat beneath him,
Violently gave way,
Then the Doc came crashing down
Onto his porcelain throne,
And into his giant brain,
A notion did occur.

So onto a paper sketch,
The Doc did diagram,
A strange formation never before seen by man,
Upon it's completion he did just realize,
He'd just created the means,
To travel through time.

After years of toil,
He finally did produce,
All dressed in steel and wires,
Plutonium in it's caboose,
When it reached that magic speed,
Twin fire trails behind,
A sonic boom, a flash of light,
He'd gone back in time.

He started out in '85 with his DeLorean,
Then to 1955 and then came back again,
Back to the future, to try and save the day,
Until an old man split time with the almanac of Gray.

Through many years and two timelines the Doc did explore,
All with the help of one young man,
An orange vest he wore,
Upon his makeshift skateboard he road and saved the day,
All the while teaching his da-daddy-o,
What to say.

Back to 1955 to stop what had gone wrong,
Then lightning struck, and the Doc was gone,
Stuck in 1885 no way to get back home,
'Til a flying train gave him time again to roam.
