Errol was running his first house filk ever! And he knew that Debbie Ohi would be there and he wanted to parody a song of hers, “Cuz He’s a Guy”. He would have sang it, but he felt that he didn’t fit the guy stereotype very well.
lyrics
VERSE 1:
I cannot keep the house clean
Undergarments on the floor
My once annoying habits
Now you can’t ignore
I’m up all night playing games
In bed I steal the sheets
I burp so proudly when outside
I cannot be discrete
CHORUS:
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(Hon, where’d all my DVD’s go?)
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(Wait I’m almost at the save point!)
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(Trust me, you’ll LOVE Spamalot!)
Cuz I’m a… I’m a…
VERSE 2:
My specialty is toast
But I can never find the butter
Dishes by the console
Where’s my stuff amongst the clutter?
Always on the Internet
Downloading anime
Don’t like the sun, it makes me sweat
Can’t stand the light of day
CHORUS:
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(But we went outside last week!)
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(Look, you can join me in co-op mode!)
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(Waddaya mean it’s boring? It’s awesome!)
Cuz I’m a… I’m a…
VERSE 3:
Gotta come to my gaming group
Trust me, it’ll be swell
Just don’t you leave like last time
Complaining ’bout the smell
Like to collect, read, watch and play
That is my confession
There ain’t a single hobby
That isn’t an obsession
CHORUS:
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(No, I didn’t pay a lot for this…)
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(They aren’t toys! They’re collector items!)
Cuz he’s a geek guy
(You’re the only girl that talks to me…)
Cuz I’m a game-playin’, quote-saying, couch-staying, zombie-slayin’
Geek guy
(“Do or do not. There is no try.”)

There are so many lovely songs on this double album, but E.S.B. helped me through my own troubles - with my change in career, with my divorce, and with ending a number of toxic friendships. kanashiiichigo
