lyrics

It was my first convention
I had never seen so many happy nerds
I was a shy guest speaker
Who was never very handy with my words

I took the stage, so nervous
And gripped the podium with both my shaking hands
But then I thought, "Don't worry
Just talk about the things they understand."

CHORUS
Live long and prosper
As Gandalf said to Harry
Watch out for Daleks
The wizard boy replied
Trying to rescue
The beautiful Inara
While they were fighting
Darth Vader side by side

They got the fires extinguished
I am told it was a three-alarm affair
And there were cops with roadblocks
And several helicopters in the air

I didn't know what happened
The doctors told me what had come to pass
Because it took twelve hours
To pull the Klingon bat'leth from my ass

CHORUS

"C’mon everybody! This one's for Wash!"

CHORUS

“Frakkin’ toasters!"

This is my favorite album so far. I don't think I've ever felt as seen as when listening to "Mermaids and Queers." "Slytherins and Misunderstood" finally convinced my mom to embrace her Slytherin identity! loquita08
