On the telly there was a great programme
That we watched and discussed all the time
Then how the Xena Fanbase split
And the Subtexters became the force Prime

(Chorus)
Those were Subtext Days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
The Joxerites ever hoped for a bright new dawn
With Gabby our favourite Bard
Our Boy loved her oh so hard
And so the GJRSers were borne!
Yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!
Those were Subtext days, Oh yes those were the days

Then the Series' went so quickly past us
TPTB gave us crumbs few and far between
We still held out hope for Our Favourite Couple
Though the Subtexters still reigned over all supreme

(Chorus)
Those were Subtext Days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
The Joxerites ever hoped for a bright new dawn
With Gabby our favourite Bard
Our Boy loved her oh so hard
And so the GJRSers were borne!
Yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!
Those were Subtext days, Oh yes those were the days!

At the beginning of every new Series
We wanted Gab and Jox to be in the frame
But in our hearts we knew it couldn't happen
For Subtexters still ruled in all but name

(Chorus)
Those were Subtext Days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
The Joxerites ever hoped for a bright new dawn
With Gabby our favourite Bard
Our Boy loved her oh so hard
And so the GJRSers were borne!
Yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!
Those were Subtext days, Oh yes those were the days

Now at last Joxer has told Gabby that he loves her
The Subtext star is on the wane
Ho, we'll see many Joxer/Gabby moments
For the GJRS will be the Joxerphobes bane!

(Chorus)
Those were Subtext Days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
The Joxerites ever hoped for a bright new dawn
With Gabby our favourite Bard
Our Boy loved her oh so hard
And so the GJRSers were borne!
Yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi !yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!yi!
Those were Subtext days, Oh yes those were the days!
