stars_fell posted a little of this on her Tumblr, so I went to check out the full song...

If you go to Cleverbot and type in one of the lyrics to the "Tick Tock Goes the Clock" nursery rhyme, it'll give you the next lyric. In fact, you can go though the entire song, just you and Cleverbot doing each line together!

Also, if you ask it "Doctor who?", it'll tell

Not that clever.

It's answer to Who is River Song was "The Doctor is Male"

And Who is Idris = It's a guy

[classic_mold137]

Idris Elba is a guy, tho.

[bardingtide]

Fair point

[arthoniel]

Really? That's what you got for "Who is River Song?" That's weird... I asked it the same question, and I got "River Song is the one who kills the Doctor."

I dunno, man. Far be it from me to try to be the one who figures out technology! XD

I was just doing that nursery rhyme thing you mentioned above, I typed "And what now shall we play?" and Cleverbot answered "Daleks!"
o___O

[arthoniel]

o.O Huh... that's weird. I dunno... maybe you have to start from the beginning of the song?

[endis_ni]

Has anyone got all the words of the nursery rhyme, please? I've sort of gathered scraps, but frankly I'm a bit rubbish.

Tick tock goes the clock
And what now shall we play?
Tick tock goes the clock
Now summer’s gone away?

Tick tock goes the clock
And what then shall we see?
Tick tock until the day
That thou shalt marry me

Tick tock goes the clock
And all the years they fly
Tick tock and all too soon
You and I must die

Tick tock goes the clock
We laughed at fate and mourned her
Tick tock goes the clock
Even for the Doctor

Tick tock goes the clock
He cradled her and he rocked her
Tick tock goes the clock
Even for the Doctor…

Not my work, found it by google and there is another verse added in Closing Time it seems.

[endis_ni]

That's great, thanks!

Notepad files of scrappiness suggests that the ending of the Closing Time verse is something like "when River Kills the Doctor."

I asked clever bot who its favorite Doctor was and it said Christopher Eccleston. He he....So it's a fan of nine.

[arthoniel]

Huh... well, that's a totally legit opinion! I mean, for a good number of people - myself included - Christopher Eccleston was our first Doctor, and Nine is a pretty BAMF Doctor in and of himself as well. I can see it~

I love it!! So many theories and ideas and tidbits that tell us all so much and yet leave us in the dark!!

I can't even!!
