I've been searching and looking for something to learn, I need a major in university, got nowhere to turn. You can keep computer science, don't want no liberal arts, It's all a mute point, 'cause I know where I'll start.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm a linguist (I study language all day long) I'm a linguist (Analyzing poetry and song) The MC Hammer of grammar, I'ma' send you all home When it comes to linguistics, I'm like Sir William Jones.
My folks don't approve, they think syntax is sin, They can't handle a career choice that's so full of win. Just 'cause it cost 40k to get my Harvard M.A., I still don't have a job, but that's okay.
(Chorus)
I know German to French, Greenlandic to Zulu, Aramaic, Altaic, Suomi and Hebrew, From the Indo-Europeans up to Sino-Tibet, Learning all about languages is my raison d'être.
