Subject: Crazy as a fat june bug- what song is't?
Okay, I admit it, this is a strange request, I know. But I'm stumped.

Back on May 25, 2001, I posted this filked song to a Doctor Who newsgroup (Rec.arts.drwho, or RAD-Wah). I know for a fact that I found the original here on Mudcat, in the DT. But I wasn't clever enough to download the midi file to my own hard drive. I'd like to find the original again, and do that now, but I've forgotten the name of the song. And the link I originally posted (http://shorty.mudcat.org/!!-song99.cfm?stuff=fall99+D+9271639) is now obsolete. I'm pretty sure I kept the line: "Crazy as a Fat June Bug, crafty as a fox!" from the original (I think that's what prompted me to pick it for a song about the Doctor), but since Mudcat's most recent big crash, the DT is picking up anything, when I put that phrase in the search box.

Does anyone recognize this song?   

Once I lived on the mountain top, now I live in town;
I'm posting on the RAD-Wah 'group; hosin' flamewars down.
       The old Doctor, the renegade, travels in a box,
       Crazy as a fat June bug, crafty as a fox!
The old Doctor, he had a dog, strangest I ever saw,
Had a laser for a nose, but never could run far.
       The old Doctor, the renegade, travels in a box,
       Crazy as a fat June bug, crafty as a fox!
The Doctor, he fought pepperpots that would never make you sneeze,
But when they said "Ex-term-in-ate!" we all got shaky knees!
       The old Doctor, the renegade, travels in a box,
       Crazy as a fat June bug, crafty as a fox!
The inside of the Doctor's ship, it surely is no game:
Fifteen miles of corridors that all look just the same.
       The old Doctor, the renegade, travels in a box,
       Crazy as a fat June bug, crafty as a fox!
I won't talk to the nasty trolls, tell you the reason why,
Say so much as "How do ye do?" they'd spit right in my eye.
       The old Doctor, the renegade, travels in a box,
       Crazy as a fat June bug, crafty as a fox!
I wish I had my own sadfan. I'd put him on a shelf,
And every time he'd smile at me, I'd get up there myself.
       The old Doctor, the renegade, travels in a box,
       Crazy as a fat June bug, crafty as a fox!

       The old Doctor, the renegade, travels in a box,
       Crazy as the fat June bug, crafty as a fox!
