Lyrics:
You see me mowin' my front lawn
I know they're all thinkin' I'm so
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Can't you see I'm white and nerdy
Look at me I'm white and nerdy

I wanna roll with the gangstas
But so far they all think I'm too
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
Really, really white and nerdy

First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I'm a champion at D&D
M.C. Escher, that's my favorite M.C.
Keep you're 40, I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin, to the contrary
You'll find that they're quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Stephen Hawking's in my library

My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin' for my top eight spaces
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'm a wiz at Minesweeper, I could play for days
Once you've see my sweet moves, you're gonna stay amazed
My fingers movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze

There's no killer app I haven't run (run)
At Pascal, well I'm number one (one)
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat, but I got a soldering gun (what?)
Happy Days is my favorite theme song
I could sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon

Here's the part I sing on...

You see me roll on my Segway
I know in my heart they think I'm
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Can't you see I'm white and nerdy
Look at me I'm white and nerdy

I'd like to roll with the gangstas
Although it's apparent I'm too
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
How'd I get so white and nerdy

I been browsin', inspectin' X-Men comics
You know I collect 'em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect them
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shoppin' online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you R-O-T-F-L-O-L

I got a business doing websites (websites)
When my friends need some code, who do they call?
I do HTML for 'em all
Even made a homepage for my dog, yo
I got myself a fanny pack
They were havin' a sale down at The Gap
Spend my nights with a role of bubble wrap
Pop, pop - hope no one sees me gettin' freaky

I'm nerdy in the extreme
Whiter than sour cream
I was in AV club and glee club
And even the chess team
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was "Do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?"
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Faire
Got my name on my underwear

They see me strollin', they're laughin'
And rollin' their eyes cause I'm so
White and nerdy

Just because I'm white and nerdy
Just because I'm white and nerdy
All because I'm white and nerdy
Holy cow, I'm white and nerdy

I wanna bowl with the gangstas
But oh well, it's obvious I'm
White and nerdy

Think I'm just too white and nerdy
Think I'm just too white and nerdy
I'm just too white and nerdy
Look at me I'm white and nerdy

I have to point out the blatant fallacies of that video:
1) Those of us who are whiter than sour cream don't mow the lawn. We burn too easy. We even avoid driving for long distances on sunny days.

2) His action figures were exposed to the air? Wth, everyone knows ya gotta either keep em sealed in the box or put them in some form of protective covering.

3) Nobody memorizes pi out to a thousand places, more like 8-12.

4) The mayo on the slice of bread is globbed and uneven, when it should be evenly spread on both slices of bread instead of globbed on one.

5) Happy Days? Please. It may be stuck in our heads, but every nerd's favorite theme song is a toss up between the Legend of Zelda overworld theme and the Final Fanasy theme, they just have no words to them so people don't make the connection.

6) Makin websites is a nice cover, but the real cash is in the underground term paper market.

7) Picard. No question. Kirk is a brainless twit of a horndog who can't do squat without his crew making all the decisions.

8) The gangstas always want one nerd on their bowling team, just to hike up their average. Besides, somebody has to buy the nachos.

Trust me on those, I'm the whitest white boy you've never seen. I'm whiter than albinos. I'm so white, when I was in the hospital recovery room coming out of surgery, every doctor that walked by told the nurses to draw bloodwork and do all kind of tests because I looked unhealthy. I'm so white, when the head nurse for the night shift got called in to hook me up for IV (I have very small veins), he couldn't hit a vein either and asked me if I had blood or if I was a ghost.

2. NRFB! N R F B!!!!!

4. Hells yeah. If it's not on both sides then you don't get the full deliciousness of the mayo.

5. Laughed when I read this cuz I got that Zelda theme as my ringtone...

7. Agreed. Picard was witty and wise. Kirk was a beefy buffoon who thought it was a good idea to take squishy redshirts on away missions.

I always did like that video. He usually does a good job spoofing songs. Its also cool that the original artists allow him to make fun of their music as he does.
