Baba Brinkman - Mad Scientist (Talkin' Nerdy) lyrics

Is it just me, or is it incredibly s**y When someone expresses intellect effortlessly? I met Lesley at a party, she's a post-doc She rejects any explanation that's post-hoc All I could think was, "Aw, she's so nice" As she talked about her work on alder phenotypes With CO2 levels experimentally elevated I felt elated, like "what an incredible lady!" But then I got all forward and said I wanted more of it And she called my enthusiasm a false correlate And then I felt all subordinate, so I stepped away And then later I met Dave, Lesley's ex- Sex slave, he explained; how embarra**ing He told me "Spiders engage in alloparenting And a h*mologous molecule to oxytocin predicts it" But then he split to go baby-sit Lesley's kids! The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me Drop science on your ear I'm walkin' through the party lookin' for a brainy lady When I run into Marty who studies same-s** mating He's talkin' about the "h*mophobic paradox" Which occurs in places like conservative America Basically, if you suppress the gay scene You get more babies born with gay genes Cause you force them into hetero marriages Where they breed a pair of kids, just to keep up appearances I said, "Damn, that's chickens coming home to roost For sanctimonious h*mophobic prudes" And I think my word usage got Marty's juices flowin' But I was trying to use it to seduce a woman So I excuse myself instead of leading him on Peaco*k feathers I'm proceeding to flaunt Cause I gotta be lyrically fly if I choose To pursue only women with the highest IQs The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me Drop science on your ear Is it a personal fetish or a universal preference To get thrills from seven-syllable words in a sentence? Presented unpretentiously, even carelessly I get titillated interdisciplinarily So you can find me chillin' at a research institute Conducting interviews in an impish mood I met Sue at a conference, she's into modelling Genetic trees, and species phylogenies She swept me off my feet, I got wrapped up In bed she recited a long list of taxa Until I cracked up, and said: "It's sadistic To put so much emphasis on cladistics It's twisted!" But she was arrogant She said: "Tell it to the genes that you share with chimps And not with me" And she drifted off to sleep I guess nerdy talking' isn't all s**y The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me The mad scientist He's talkin' nerdy to me Drop science on your ear
