E
Nancy got a haircut, she looks really nice now
Walkin' with a light strut, drawin' all the eyes
 A             B
How nice, oh, how nice
E
Nancy's got a new do, pullin' all the fellas
Girls are doin' voodoo
'cause they're gettin' jealous
 A              B
My, it must be nice
       E
To be Nancy

Chorus:
       A                    B
But nobody knows what it's like to be
   E                    C#m  B
Scrutinized like you're on TV
   A                    B
Nobody knows what it's like
       E
To be Nancy

Nancy's got a hard life, winnin' isn't easy
Even if it's part-time, even when it's sleazy
I think I would die
If I were like Nancy, had to do what she does
Dressin' up all fancy, fightin' hard for freedom
I think I would die
I wouldn't wanna be Nancy

Chorus

      E     C#m B
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
