Well here I am on the dancefloor
I’m staring at my shoes
But I'm looking ace in my glasses
National Health, I love you
I gotta dance, I gotta make a move
To Impress that girl
But the only move I can think of
Is bishop to e4, check! You lose!
She's coming over to me
I got nowhere to run
She looks like lieutenant Uhura
Set phasers to stun
She asks me if I want to dance
I don't know what to say
I try some robotics and say ‘will you be my girlfriend?’, she says
'No freakin’ way'
Never
No, never
Never had a girlfriend
I wonder why she don't like me
I think I'm pretty cool
Ok maybe I've got some dandruff
But I know how to use a slide rule
Let's have a conversation
Stop! I like you. Please don't run
We could talk about comics or science or maths or computers or Star Trek or
ninjas or virii and/or bacterii
Don't you think we'd have fun?
She's coming over to me
Nowhere to run
She looks like lieutenant Uhura
Set phasers to stun
It's now half past seven
Robot wars is on BBC2
But don’t worry I've set my video to record it
So I can make love to you
