Lyrics:
Yeah I'm out in Jamestown
Lookin' at those wooden ships
Right next to the river
But I aint on a field trip

I'm the new Tom Jefferson
Ever since I came here
I've been getting nerdier
Really really nerdier

I used to live in DuPont
Representin' First West (Ebirt!)
Right there near the Caf
Except it was a big tent

Moved on out to Ludwell
604A
15 minute walk to Swem
You know I'm in there everyday

Cruisin' down Richmond Road
Passin' by Zable
Williamsburg Trolley
Lookin' like it needs a cable

Comin' up on C-Dub
This corner is confusing
Stuck behind a tourist
Kids look like they're snoozing

Head on down to Wawa
Order in the comput-a
That way I dont have to
Talk to people I don't wanna

Which works out really well for me
'Cause I got no social skills
Tell by my awkwardness
That you're most definitely...

(Chorus)

In the Buurrrrggggg (uh huh)
Ok let's face it its boring (bars close at 2)
There's not much you can do
Now you're in the burrrrgggg (yeah, yeah)
You cross the street and suddenly (oh, what happened?)
It's 1780
I guess I'm in the burrrgg (I miss you Sam Sadler)
the burrrg the buuuurrrrrrgggg

Monday morning 8:00
I'll be in the second row
Ask questions one minute left
So other people can't go

Back home to my X-Box
Fire up some Halo
Maybe there's a reason I'm goin
King and Queen's solo

Dancin' aint my best
Though I do a mean robot
Adderall's my drug of choice
So you can go and keep your pot

Sunday night I'm at the Leafe
Sippin' on a mug of Bass
But you know I'll only talk about
My favorite class

Now I'm at the UC
Wait I mean Sadler
Check my mail, still no package
No surprise there

Even though I don't need to
I hit the handicap switch
My new calc is so fly
I'm like the golden snitch

Talk like a pirate day
September 19th, lass
Is that a superhero?
No, he just wears a cape to class

I got class in the Wren building
Yeah, you know you're jealous
Throw a big party
Gonna be a lot of fellas, heck yes!

(Chorus)

In the Buurrrrggggg (heeeyyyyy)
Ok let's face it its boring
There's not much you can do (theres mini-golf)
Now you're in the burrrrgggg
You cross the street and suddenly (we got lights at Zable)
It's 1780 (yeah you know)
I guess I'm in the burrrgg
the burrrg the buuuurrrrrrgggg

Protesters say I'm dirty
That I'm goin' straight to hell
But let's see you be clean
Once you've swam the Crim Dell

That was just a piece of it
Jumped the Governer's wall
Streaked the Sunken Garden too
Yeah you know I did 'em all

Someone wants to steal a chair
"Hey you savin' these for friends?"
Sorry someone said house dressing
Had me dreamin' of bread ends

Head on down to New Town
Find me at the Cal-Tor
Then Avatar in 3-D
How could I even ask for more?

Thursday night bowling
Pickin' up some sick spares
Call me OneRepublic
'Cause I make people stop and stare

Runnin' down DoG street
Watch out for the horse crap
Better get out my way
You don't wanna hear my musket clap

If you've got a head cold
Grab a tri-corner hat
But to get with the times
You only need a Flat Hat

Trainin' on my Rubik's Cube
Someday I'll be a champion
This city ALWAYS sleeps
You know you don't need no Ambien.

(Chorus)

In the Buurrrrggggg
Ok let's face it its boring
There's not much you can do
Now you're in the burrrrgggg
You cross the street and suddenly
It's 1780
I guess I'm in the burrrgg
the burrrg the buuuurrrrrrgggg

Hunger calls, dining halls
Maybe Paul's Deli
Loaded cheese fries
Goin' down in my belly

Aint no place in the New World compares
Put your lanterns in the air
Everybody say "Yeaaahhhhhhh"
"Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhh"

In the Buurrrrggggg
Ok let's face it its boring
There's not much you can do
Now you're in the burrrrgggg
You cross the street and suddenly
It's 1780
I guess I'm in the burrrgg
the burrrg the buuuurrrrrrgggg

I might sound weird for sayin this but I miss the Burg. Probably because all my friends are there, but still it is still an awesome city even though it's boring.

Newtown is thebomb.com!!! Sad right? But it's the truth.
