LYRICS
Oh Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would shout the same
To the world
Oh Valerie Plame
So they made a wreck of you
But give me the rest of you
And I'll give the world
And you were just some silly girl
Taking in the sights of your empire's colony
So I took you into my confidence
Without a thought of consequence
To my heart or to my mind
But Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would shout the same
To the world
La da da de da
la de da
la de da da da da dada da
Oh Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would shout the same
To the world
Dear Valerie Plame
I'll look for that long exchange
Outside the Bureau Change
In Berlin
But I was just some stupid boy on a bus
When your nom de guerre was Codename Caroline
And so my Vespa became your chariot
From the Green Zone Marriott
To the cockles of my mind
But Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world
La da da de da
la de da
la de da da da da dada da
And when they flashed your picture 'cross the screen
How my heart seemed to leap out of me
And they attached a list of your identities
But the one you'll always be
Is Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world
Valerie plame
If that really is your name
I would just shout the same
To the world
La da da da da da da, hey hey Valerie Plame
La da da da da da da, hey hey Valerie Plame
Oh Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would shout the same
To the world
Oh Valerie Plame
So they made a wreck of you
But give me the rest of you
And I'll give the world
And you were just some silly girl
Taking in the sights of your empire's colony
So I took you into my confidence
Without a thought of consequence
To my heart or to my mind
But Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would shout the same
To the world
La da da de da
la de da
la de da da da da dada da
Oh Valerie Plame
If that really is your name
I would shout the same
To the world
Dear Valerie Plame
I'll look for that long exchange
Outside the Bureau Change

But I was just some stupid boy on a bus
When your nom de guerre was Codename Caroline
And so my Vespa became your chariot
From the Green Zone Marriott
To the cockles of my mind
