ellis paul - nellie bly lyrics
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 sh-r-s
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.
