Veronica Lake - Sparks

作词：Ron Mael/Russell Mael

作曲：Ron Mael/Russell Mael

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
