Nurds - The Roches

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
