THE MENSA SONG

If there were ever a song which deserved to be on the Internet, this is it:

(Sung to the tune of "MacNamara's Band")

We have a club called Mensa and we think it's really grand
Although we're few in numbers we're the finest in the land
We dabble in computers and degrees and works of art
A few of us are talented, but all of us are smart

CHORUS:
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM-DUM
BUT THE MEMBERSHIP OF MENSA IS AS BRILLIANT AS THEY COME.

Our members are a motley crew in terms of their physique
They're short and tall and thin and fat and powerful and weak
And some are photogenic, and some would break your heart
A few of us are beautiful, but all of us are smart

CHORUS:
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM-DUM
BUT THE MEMBERSHIP OF MENSA IS AS BRILLIANT AS THEY COME.

We have a lot of parties where we talk a deep blue streak
The problems of the universe would take us just a week
And even if we sometimes put the horse before the cart
A few of us are practical, but all of us are smart.

CHORUS:
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM-DUM
BUT THE MEMBERSHIP OF MENSA IS AS BRILLIANT AS THEY COME.

Mentality is what we claim, we prove it by a test
At filling in the proper box we surely are the best
A few of us have healthy minds but there's another part
A few of us are paranoid, but all of us are smart.

CHORUS:
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM-DUM
BUT THE MEMBERSHIP OF MENSA IS AS BRILLIANT AS THEY COME.

Our manners are quite varied, as i'm sure you will agree
The best of us speak softly 'mid the cakes and cups of tea
While others smoke, and drink a lot, and curse and belch and fart
A few of us are very nice, but all of us are smart.

CHORUS:
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM
OTHERS ARE DUM-DE-DUM-DE-DUM-DUM
BUT THE MEMBERSHIP OF MENSA IS AS BRILLIANT AS THEY COME.
