Verse 1
At 12 Miss Curie
Was known as Mania
A girl into science
No school would take ha’
Lil’ Jane Austen
Who would have thought?
The seventh of eight and
Completely self-taught
Chorus
Now you’re aged the same
But ahead of the game
Can’t wait to see
Who you’ll grow up to be
Go far but go fair
You’ve got awesome hair
Invent and explore
And always seek more
GO KEREN!
Verse 2
Long before Sally
Got on the Challenger
She figured she’d be
A tennis player
Flo Nightingale
Would just sit around
On working women
Her family frowned
Chorus
Verse 3
Daughter Teresa
Was little Agnes
Far from a saint and
A bit of a mess
Before Joan of Arc
Was ready to fight
No education
Could not read or write
Chorus
Verse 4
With Israel’s future
Unknown and rocky
Golda Mabovitch
Lived in Milwaukee
Before Amelia
Took to the air
She saw her first plane
At a state fair
Chorus
