Nurds Lyrics - The Roches

I'm so glad I am one 

Nurds 

When I was a young girl 

I went to Catholic school 

Hung around all the nuns 

That was so uncool 

All the other girls were wearing 

Make-up in fourth grade 

But I was not allowed 

I wore anklets and prayed 

Nurds 

Paula Duvle dyed her hair 

And started going out with boys 

I was into homework 

And trying to get toys 

It was around that time 

I discovered what I was 

For instance I said 'Policeman' 

But Paula called them 'Fuzz' 

Nurds 

Then I went to high school 

It really hit me hard 

I started finding out that 

They were calling me retard 

In the gymnasium I was not a hit 

There was something really interesting 

About the way my gym suit fit 

Nurds 

I'm so glad I am one
