A Song for Danica

DANICA
Sung to the tune of Veronica by Elvis Costello


She drives a car fast, doesn't always get respect.
In fact some say she is no good.
Maybe with a win, we can dare expect,
They'll give credit to Danica.

Kyle made the plan, that they would conserve fuel,
And she drove it as few drivers could.
Helio did not have enough gas for a duel,
And the win went to Danica.

Back in the states we jumped and cheered and cried
She drove the lane of victory.
She wept and hugged and smiled and sighed,
As all said she made history.
Our Danica, We Manica
Thought it was great!

We cheered her on for years and always had the faith,
We knew she has what it takes.
The bashers claim "the helmet" still is just a waif.
They may never like Danica.

They say it all was Moyer, no credit for her drive,
His plan was the only key.
Or luck or more excuses they will try to find,
`cause they can't credit Danica.

How can they not see how she's fought and grown
And now is part of the elite?
The guys they said she could not beat were 2 through 5
They cannot speak "Yea Danica!"
Go Danica
So we all cheer . . .

Our Danica
