Oh Valerie Plame 
If that really is your name 
I would just shout the same 
From up high 
Dear Valerie Plame 
I'll look for that long exchange 
Outside of the Bureau Change 
In Shanghai 
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 be etched upon my mind 
But Valerie Plame 
If that really is your name 
I would just shout the same 
To the world
