Mad Scientist (Talkin' Nerdy)

Is it just me, or is it incredibly sexy 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 embarrassing He told me "Spiders engage in alloparenting And a homologous molecule to oxytocin predicts it" But then he split to go baby-sit Lesley's kids!

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 sexy 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
