It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd

The only light we ever see is from our moniter



We argue about comic books and Internet connections

The biggest highlight of the year is the Star Trek Convention

Our town's not big enough to sign up any stars

But we once met a red shirt who was phasered by a Borg

(Man, he knew Mr. Sulu!) (What?)



It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd

We wear our Star Trek uniforms and talk like Captain Kirk



We have our own heroes who we try to emulate

I dream of one day being as sexy as Bill Gates

We hate watching sports 'cause we're reading Carl Sagan

But we'd watch the Olympics if they played Dungeons and Dragons

(I'm a Hobbitt! Ha ha ha ha!)



It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd

We think Tolkein was a genius and Shakespeare was a turd



We rarely get a date or get talked to by a girl

Unless they're having trouble with their algebra homework

We're emotionally bereft and we're sexually frustrated

But we can download photographs of Agent Scully naked



It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd

We know the truth is out there but we'd have to leave our room



We are the nerds in your neighbourhood

Polyester's a fashion statement

But there's more room on the beach for you

'Cause we're locked in our basement



It's great to be a nerd, It's great to be a nerd

We like to wear colours that do not appear in nature



It's great to be a

Poorly-dressed fashionless

Star trekking roleplaying

Ninety pound when wet down

Pasty skinned pop drinking

Underfed genius

Yes, it's great to be a nerd-acap
