Nellie By
Nellie Bly, Nellie Bly The world could be yours if you try, if you try
Nellie Bly was just a girl, born into a world Where little girls barely mattered Even women couldn't vote, their jobs just left them broke Sewing clothes, and stirring batter
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!
Nellie Bly, she was sly, she was like a private eye She went under cover into a women's mental ward Her pen was like a sword, she played sick to be among the others
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The patients weren't being treated right She stayed there ten long days and nights Then she told the whole world What it's all about!
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 Meeting kings and getting flowers
Arabia, Hong Kong, Singapore In seventy-two days she was on American shores Telling the whole.... wide.... world What it's all about!
