Jodie and Selves/Colin's Coat

Summary:

An adaption of "Jacob and Sons/Joseph's Coat" from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" to celebrate Colin Baker's birthday.

Original lyrics by Tim Rice, music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Notes:

Inspired by a comment I saw on Reddit, I reimagined "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" starring the Sixth Doctor to celebrate Colin Baker's birthday. Hope you enjoy it.

Work Text:

Narrator

Way way back many centuries ago,

Not long after the Time Lords began

Jodie lived in her TARDIS,

A fine example of a changeable woman.

Jodie, Jodie and selves,

Saving the universe from all sorts of villains.

Jodie, Jodie and selves,

Spent all of their days travelling with humans.

Jodie was the centre of a whole new universe

Thanks to the number of selves that she knew

She was also known as the Doctor, but most of the time

Her other selves just called her Who.

Jodie, Jodie and selves,

Saving everyone, everywhen.

Jodie, Jodie and selves,

Great chaps, the lot of them.

 

William was the eldest of the Doctors

With Patrick and Jon the next in line

Tom and Peter with Sylvester and Paul

Chris and David took the total to nine

Jodie, Jodie and selves,

Matt and Peter again, which leaves only one

Jodie, Jodie and selves,

Colin - Jodie's favourite self

Jodie, Jodie and selves

Jodie, Jodie and selves

Jodie, Jodie and selves

 

Jodie

Colin was quite my favourite life

I never really loved another, not even my wife

And Colin was my joy because

He reminded me of me

 

Narrator

Jodie felt like she was Colin born again

Loved him, praised him, gave him all she could, but then

It made the rest feel second best

And even if they were -

 

Doctors

Being told we're also-rans

Does not makes us Colin fans

But where we really missed the boat is

We're great guys but no-one seems to notice

 

Narrator

Colin's charm and winning smile

Failed to slay them in the aisle

And Jodie couldn't see the danger

She could not imagine any danger

She just saw in Colin all her dreams come true.

Jodie showed the world she loved that pixie

Made it clear that Colin was the special Sixie

Mostly because of that coat

A multi-coloured coat

 

Doctors

Colin's coat was elegant,

The cut was fine

The tasteful style was the

Ultimate in good design

And this is why it caught the eye

A king would stop and stare

And when Colin tried it on

He knew his cricket white days were gone

Such a dazzling coat of many colours

How he loved his coat of many colours

In a class above the rest

It even went well with his vest

Such a stunning coat of many colours

How he loved his coat of many colours

It was red and yellow and green and brown and

Blue

 

Narrator

The other Doctors weren't

Too pleased with what they saw

 

Doctors

We have never liked him

All that much before

And now this coat

Has got our goat

We feel life is unfair

 

Narrator

And when Colin graced the scene

His selves turned a shade of green

His astounding clothing took the biscuit 

Quite the smoothest person in the district

 

Colin

I look handsome, I look smart

I am a walking work of art

Such a dazzling coat of colours

How I love my coat of many colours

It was red and yellow and green and brown

And scarlet and black and ochre and peach

And ruby and olive and violet and fawn

And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve

And cream and crimson and silver and rose

And azure and lemon and russet and grey

And purple and white and pink and orange

And red and yellow and green and brown and

Scarlet and black and ochre and peach

And ruby and olive and violet and fawn

And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve

And cream and crimson and silver and rose

And azure and lemon and russet and grey

And purple and white and pink and orange

And blue
