It's great to be a nerd
It's great to be a nerd
The only light we ever see
Is from our monitor
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
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 heroes who
We try to emulate
I dream of one day
Being as sexy as Bill Gates
We hate watching sports
Cuz we're reading Carl Sagan
But we'd watch the Olympics
If they played Dungeons and Dragons
It's great to be a nerd
It's great to be a nerd
We think Tolkien ws 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
Cuz we're locked in our basements
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!
