Lyrics: Jenny particularly loved this book when she was in 5th grade. Harriet is a spunky, smart character. We had fun making this song sound like 60’s spy movie music.
(Refrain:)
Harriet the Spy, Harriet the Spy
Harriet the Spy is a super sleuth
She’s always searching for the truth
She doesn’t knock and she doesn’t use keys
She writes down everything that she sees (Refrain)
Harriet the Spy is really cool
She says what she means, and she’s nobody’s fool
If you are her friend, she will never forget it
But if you make her mad, she will make you regret it (Refrain)
(Bridge:)
Sees what goes on
She’s here and gone
Writes it all down
She’s spying all around the town - (Refrain:)
She doesn’t care what the other kids say
She’s got to live life her own way
She’s smart and she’s funny and she knows what to do
She makes me feel like I could be that way too (Refrain)
(Bridge)
