A Filking of a Classic Broadway musical. With love. You may have to imagine Jack and Daniel singing. Unsure of trauma involved.

I am not making any money from this and I'm still paying for everything I own so there's very little point in suing me. No copyright infringement whatsoever is intended.

- Doctor Of Science (I Am I, Daniel Jackson)
Lyrics by Debi C

Filk based on- Man Of La Mancha (I Am I, Don Quixote)
Lyrics by Joe Darion

In this song -- whose words are spoken to music until it breaks into song after the first stanza -- Catherine Langford introduces the other Scientists to the new recruit Daniel Jackson and a young man assumes the role of genius before their eyes. The military hard ass Colonel becomes Jack O'Neill, his friend.

(spoken)

I shall introduce ... a man.
Come, enter into my secret world and see him:
Slender, fair of face, eyes that burn with the fire of inner vision.
He conceives the strangest project ever imagined ...
To become an archaelogist
And sally forth into the world, correcting Budge.

Hear me now, oh thou bleak and unbearable world
Thou art base and debauched as can be!
And a social scientist, linguist and historian, his knowledge bravely unfurled now hurls down his gauntlet to thee!

I am I, Daniel Jackson
A Doctor of Science
My destiny calls, and I go!
And the Stargate from Egypt
Shall carry me outward ...
To wither so ever it goes ...
Wither so ever we go ...
Onward to glory I go!

I'm Jack, I'm Jack O'Neill
I'll follow my Geek till the end ...
I'll tell all the world, proudly,
I'm his Colonel ... I'm his friend.

Hear me false gods, and Jaffa, and servants of them:
All your dastardly doings are past!
For the real truth is now in the wind
And virtue shall triumph at last!

I am I, Daniel Jackson
A Doctor of Science
The knowledge calls, and I go!
And the Stargate of Giza
Shall carry me onward ...
And I'll learn many things as we go ...
Wither so ever we go ...
Onward to glory we go!

I'm Jack, I'm Jack O'Neill
I have found that he knows when he speaks
I'll tell all the world, proudly,
I'm his leader and I'm his friend.

Hear me government lackies, and NID Agents,
All your dastardly doings are past!
For the real truth is now in the wind
And virtue shall triumph at last!

I am I, Daniel Jackson
A Doctor of Science
My destiny calls, and I go!
And the Stargate from Egypt
Shall carry me outward ...
To wither so ever it goes ...
Wither so ever we go ...
Onward to glory I go!
