Veronica Lake

歌詞

There's a war going on, can't make a mistake All the girls are on the line, they must stay awake Every B-29, so much at stake But they're working on the line, 'til they all will ache And they all want to be Veronica Lake But that peek-a-booy hair, it's a big mistake As the foreman has to yell, 'put on the brake' Yet another girl caught, Veronica Lake And their loverboys are gone, so much at stake As they rivet and drill, then they take a break Reading movie star mags, they will imitate Yes, the one they all adore, Veronica Lake And that peek-a-booy hair, it's a big mistake One again foreman yells, 'put on the brake' As the blond wavy hair, millions partake And they fancy themselves Veronica Lake In the midst of a war, we all must partake Of our fantasy world, give us all a break And their fantasy girl who they imitate Is their number one choice, Veronica Lake Veronica Lake Veronica Lake As the leaders convene, so much is at stake The assembly has slowed, this we cannot take There's a problem with their hair, each day we brake 'Cause they all want to be Veronica Lake Now the government says, 'for goodness sake Get a hold of this girl, Veronica Lake' And they beg her and plead, can you please make Your hair slightly less like Veronica Lake And you'll still get to be Veronica Lake Just a little toned down for the Allies' sake All the girls look to you for the path to take But that peek-a-booy hair, way too many breaks She accepts their advice, hair now put in place Not all swerving all down on her pretty face She will kill her career all for the sake Of our winning the war, Veronica Lake Yes she killed her career, so much at stake But we're winning the war, now we've caught a break Still a casualty of war, Veronica Lake As Veronica Lake's not Veronica Lake She is a still a pretty girl, make no mistake But she isn't like before, how my heart aches Back then no one would mistake Veronica Lake For any other girl, Veronica Lake
