Nellie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Someone’s gotta stand up
And tell em what a girl is good for
We gotta speak up for the ones
Who’ve been told to shut up
Oh nellie take us all around the world
And break those rules cuz you're our girl
Oh nellie take us all around the world with you
We wanna make something of ourselves too
Oh nellie you show us
Just what you would do
Oh nellie you show us
Just what you would do
