Verse 1.)
As a child Mercy Otis was described as prudent
All she ever wanted to do was be a student
She dreamed of graduating from college
This would’ve been feasible because she has all the knowledge
Her father got her a tutor, who was her brother James
They rarely got along, they called each other names
When she got older she started writing poems and plays
This wasn’t usual for women in the old days

Chorus
Ayo I’m just a little lady
I’m young, tired, and bravely
And I’m not giving away my spot

Verse 2.)
Soon she got married to James Warren
She wanted to be part of the war and started politically writing
The men of her time didn’t like it, they were kind of uninviting
Her writings were about equality
All she really wanted was equality
But in that time the usual was inequality

Chorus
Ayo I’m just a little lady
I’m young, tired, and bravely
And I’m not giving away my spot

Verse 3.)
She wrote a book about the war
Now it’s in museum that you can tour
It was the first history of the American Revolution
She realized that this was a solution
The men started actually listening to what she had to say
Her goal was completed, now she’s the woman of the day

Chorus
Ayo I’m just a little lady
I’m young tired, and bravely
And I didn’t give away my spot!
