Verse 1:
E
Nancy got a haircut, she looks really nice now
E
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
E
Girls are doin' voodoo 'cause they're gettin' jealous
A               B
My, it must be nice
       E     E
To be Nancy

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

Scatting

Verse 2:
E
Nancy's got a hard life, winnin' isn't easy
E
Even if it's part-time, even when it's sleazy
A               B
I think I would die
E
If I were like Nancy, had to do what she does
E
Dressin' up all fancy, fightin' hard for freedom
A               B
I think I would die
                    E     E
I wouldn't wanna be Nancy

Scatting

     A                      B

To be Nancy
