A girl, a vest, some Goosebumps books
Excited eyes and geeky looks
With braces gleaming, joy unbound
"Ermahgerd" became a meme renowned
It all began with just one shot
A dorky moment, awkward lot
But then the internet took hold
And a new language was born, behold!
Ermahgerd, whert der yer ser?
Thers merm herz gern ter fer
Erts sper ertcerting, cernt yer ser?
Erts jerst ser rerderculus, Ermahgerd!
From Goosebumps books to every theme
This speech impediment went mainstream
Turning every phrase on its head
"Oh my God" officially dead
Ermahgerd, whert der yer ser?
Thers merm herz gern ter fer
Erts sper ertcerting, cernt yer ser?
Erts jerst ser rerderculus, Ermahgerd!
The girl behind the meme, unknown
Until the internet had grown
Maggie Goldenberger was her name
Unaware of her coming fame
But in this meme, we see ourselves
Those awkward years left on the shelves
A celebration of dorky glee
And the inner geek in you and me
From cats to cars to politics
The Ermahgerd speech did its tricks
A way to express pure excitement
Or mock someone's misalignment
Ermahgerd, whert der yer ser?
Thers merm herz gern ter fer
Erts sper ertcerting, cernt yer ser?
Erts jerst ser rerderculus, Ermahgerd!
Ermahgerd gerls, Ermahgerd berys
Ermahgerd perps and Ermahgerd ters
The meme spread like wildfire, you see
Across the land and across the sea
In board rooms and in classroom halls
Ermahgerd echoed off the walls
A secret code for those who knew
The joy of being awkward too
Ermahgerd, whert der yer ser?
Thers merm herz gern ter fer
Erts sper ertcerting, cernt yer ser?
Erts jerst ser rerderculus, Ermahgerd!
Years have passed, the meme's still strong
In internet culture, it belongs
A testament to the staying power
Of awkward moments in which we cower
So next time you're caught off guard
In a moment that hits you hard
Channel your inner Ermahgerd girl
And let your dorky flag unfurl
Ermahgerd, whert der yer ser?
Thers merm herz gern ter fer
Erts sper ertcerting, cernt yer ser?
Erts jerst ser rerderculus, Ermahgerd!
So raise your Goosebumps books up high
Let your inner geek reach the sky
For in this meme, we've found a way
To make our excitement save the day
