I longed to be you, Nancy Drew


Nancy Drew, Nancy Drew
I so admired you
for making sure that the Government’s plans
stayed out of the spies and agents’ hands
and you caught murderers too.

You had a boyfriend or two
Nancy Drew, Nancy Drew
but some had sinister thoughts in mind.
If his kiss was of the open-mouthed kind
you very quickly withdrew.

The Fascists, the Nazis too
were always after you
Nancy Drew, Nancy Drew. Each time you’d find
the clues and blueprints they left behind
but they still captured you.

You were so modern too
with radio in your shoe.
I know the murders left you subdued.
Your Mom and Dad couldn’t know, Nancy Drew,
all that you’d been through.

The bravest spy was you
and the prettiest, too.
So sensitive, caring,
brave, bold and daring;
I longed to be you, Nancy Drew.
