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
