Great to be a Nerd

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 y 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 [bad word] 

 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 ually 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
