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
Till they all ache
And they all do want to be
Veronica Lake
But that peek-a-boo-y 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
But that peek-a-boo-y hair
It's a big mistake
Once again foreman yells
Put on the break
As the blond wavy hair
Millions paratke
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 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-boo-y hair
Way too many breaks
She accepts their advice 
Hair now put in place
Not all swerving on down
On her pretty face
She will kill her career
All for the sake
Of our win in 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 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
