Leviathan Cross-dressing Song
There was a moderately-wealthy aeronaut, in Glasgow he did dwell.
He had a middling daughter, the truth to you well tell.
Oh the truth to you well tell.
Together they went flying, over hill, loch and dike
But 'twas one day of flight when tragedy did strike
Oh when tragedy did strike.
The balloonist pushed the girl to safety, her life enshrined.
But it ensured he left this earth and his darling girl behind
Oh his darling girl behind.
Her brother cut her hair short and dressed her in men's array
So she could climb aboard a vessel and convey herself away
Oh convey herself away.
By chance she found the Leviathan, when the crew saved her from a scarp
They asked her for her name; she smiled and said, "They call me Mister Sharp
"Oh they call me Mister Sharp"
A boffin came aboard the ship, and noted her slender frame
Her cheeks too clean shaven to be the age claimed
Oh to be the age she claimed
"I know I am too slender, too clean, too young for war
"But you need me and I know I am the best midshipman on board
"Oh the best midshipman on board"
Then the ship crash-landed, where the renegade clankers were
Among the dead and wounded, the dashing boy found her
Oh the dashing boy found her
The girl only did her duty, blew a whistle and the boy was seized
The Boffins pried and questioned; his guardians weren't pleased.
Oh his guardians weren't pleased
They came from a Swiss castle, stormwalker marching over snow
It was only through the girl's quick thinking that they were saved from this final blow.
Oh saved from this final blow.
But this battle was not over, zeppelins came to destroy them all
Working together, the boy and girl managed to win the brawl
Oh managed to win the brawl.
Through negotiation and diplomacy, the boffins made a deal
"For use of your engines, we'll carry you too safety, we will
"Oh carry you too safety, we will"
As they sailed onwards, the two were swiftly allies
Yet she could not admit her feelings or reveal her guise
Oh reveal her guise.
Even when the boy confessed, "I'm a prince who can never rule"
She didn't tell the boy her secret, but perhaps she will in Istanbul
Oh perhaps she will in Istanbul
Oh perhaps she will in Istanbul

I'm so disappointed I missed dalek week. 
so I give you this instead. I'm not really sure how this came about it just soft of appeared on the screen in front of me.
Song is clearly a rip-off of an old cross dressing song called "Jack-a-roe" (aka Jackarow, Jack Monroe, Jack the Sailor and a whole bunch of other names). Lots of artists have covered this song but my favourite rendition is probably Rasputina's: [link]
