Nellie Bly, Nellie Bly, the world could be yours
|
If you try, if you try
|
Nellie Bly was just a girl, born into world
|
But little girls barely matter
|
See even women couldn't vote, the job just left them broke
|
So enclosed and batter
|
Well Nellie didn't think it was right
|
She took up a pen to fight for women's rights
|
And she told the whole world, what it's all about
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Nellie Bly, Nellie Bly, the world could be yours
|
If you try, if you try
|
Nellie Bly, Nellie Bly, the world could be yours
|
If you try, if you try
|
|
Nellie Bly, she was fly, like a private eye
|
She went undercover
|
Until the women's meant award
|
See her pen was like a sword
|
She played it sick to be among the others
|
Because the patience they weren't being treated right
|
She stayed in there for 10 whole days and nights
|
And then she told the whole world, what it's all about
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Nellie Bly, Nellie Bly, the world could be yours
|
If you try, if you try
|
Nellie Bly, Nellie Bly, the world could be yours
|
If you try, if you try
|
|
Nellie Bly was just a girl, in a race around the world
|
Taking trains and ships on steam power
|
She sailed the China sea with her little pet monkey
|
Beating kings and getting flowers
|
Maybe at Hong Kong, Singaporeshe was on American shores
|
Telling the whole wide world, what it's all about
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Nellie Bly, Nellie Bly, the world could be yours
|
If you try, if you try
|
Nellie Bly, Nellie Bly, the world could be yours
|
If you try, if you try.
