The Other Amazing Parody

On My Own Little Streetcorner


I am as nerdy as they come

I write fanfic every day

In my head, the characters live near

Each other on the street

On my own streetcorner

In my own little square

I can see anybody I want to see

On the wings of a dragon I can fly anywhere

And I'll meet my favourite people from BBC

There's a consulting detective and a Timelord

The greatest sorcerer there ever was

And a prince who isn't grateful all the time, but

Is pretty good at wielding a sword

These are men girls go mad for

Love's a game they could play

And people sigh over them everywhere

And as long as they stay on my own streetcorner

I can see them anywhere

(Pause for pictures of favourite BBC shows)

I can meet whoever I want to meet

Like a knight who's immortal and a knight with no sleeves

And a hobbit with really hairy feet*

And a boy whose past will not define his future

He's dead but in my mind he's still alive

Also there's a guy who's really been supportive

Even though he's always being left behind

I am lost in my daydreams since they can't do much harm

Though I obsess far more than I should

Even though sometimes I must forgo my homework

I don't care, I just want to watch my show!

* (not the BBC, but he's still British so it counts, and I put this as a footnote I didn't want to MST but this is still relevant and I don't want anybody getting on my case because The Hobbit is not BBC.)


This was inspired by a conversation I had with MerlinPsych, and it was her audition song (In My Own Little Corner from Cinderella) that helped me write this. Not co-written this time, more like helped along by MerlinPsych, most of the lyrics are my own and not hers. As with I Could Have Danced With Knights, I would recommend watching this with the Youtube music to enhance your experience. Also, this songfic is based off of how the BBC looks to me in my crazy fangirl brain, basically the fact that the BBC has like 50 actors and in my head they all live next to each other and are great friends. Finally, see if you can figure out who all the characters are!


Disclaimer-I do not own the BBC (or The Hobbit) and I also do not own Cinderella or any of the songs from it.
