  • I got a spiderman t-shirt
    I got Converse that are rotting off my feet
    I got a bad mustache
    a reoccurring rash
    and not a lot of cash
    I spend it on my stash
    Man it's good to be a geek

    Well it's good to be a geek
    It's good to be a creep
    It's good to draw my pictures
    that no one will ever see.
    It's good to be a geek
    It's good to be unknown
    It's good I'm never waiting
    right beside the telephone
    Cuz no one ever...

    I play dungeons and dragons
    I got a 13th level halfling fighter thief
    got seven hit die on my backstab
    sometimes you know it's good to be a geek.
    It's good to be a geek
    It's good to play the freak
    It's good to comb my mullet once every other week
    As far as I can see
    It's good to play the Wii
    Then stay up painting miniatures til 2 or 3
    Cuz no one ever...

    Chorus:
    Someday I'll learn to play guitar
    Start up a band and be a star
    And when you wind up pumping gas
    Just fill 'er up and kiss my a$$...

    I'm addicted to Star Trek
    I'm a Klingon speaking federation freak
    I find I'm more inclined
    to spend the bulk of my time
    on the starship enterprise
    than talking to girls I meet

    Well I never get the girl
    but I like to be alone
    cuz i can always m@sterb@te when there's no one home
    it's good to have a plan
    it's good to be the man
    it's good to download p0rn0 from a website in Japan
    cuz no one ever...

    Chorus:
    Someday I'll learn to play guitar
    Start up a band and be a star
    And when you wind up pumping gas
    Just fill 'er up and kiss my a$$...

    Ninth grade is when I got the swirlie
    tenth grade is when I got the indian burn
    four years of continuous wedgies
    wore nine pairs of briefs so they could all get a turn
    someday I'll buy a fancy condo
    someday I'll drive a car that's more than your house
    someday you'll kiss my a$$

    It's good to make some noise
    it's good to scream outloud
    it's good to feel immortal
    like your last name is McCloud
    it's good to be a geek
    its good to be unseen
    its good to watch the Wrath of Khan on a plasma screen
    it's good to be a geek
    it's good to be the man
    it's good to download p0rn0 from a website in Japan
    It's good to be a geek
    It's good to be unknown
    It's good I'm never waiting
    right beside the telephone
    Cuz no one ever...

    I got a bad mustache
    a reoccurring rash
    and not a lot of cash
    I spend it on my stash
    Man it's good to be a geek
    You know I don't intend
    To look like Boba Fett
    I got my Holland set
    Although it makes me sweat
    Man it's good to be a geek! Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
