The Roches - Nurds Lyrics

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
Makeup 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
