 Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?

 What goes on in that place in the dark?

 Well I used to know a girl and I would have sworn

 That her name was Veronica

 Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own

 And a delicate look in her eye

 These days I'm afraid she's not even shure

 If her name is Veronica

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes

 Veronica has gone to hide?

 And all the time she laughs at those

 Who shout her name and steal her clothes

Veronica - Veronica - Veronica

 Did the days drag by? Did the favour wane?

 Did he roam down the town all the time?

 Will you wake from a dream, with the wolf at the door

 Reaching out for Veronica?

 Well it was all sixty-five years ago

 When the world was the street where she lived

 And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea

 With a picture of Veronica

 On the "Empress of India"

 And as she closed her eyes upon the world

 And picked upon the bones of last week's news

 She spoke his name out loud again

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes

 Veronica has gone to hide?

 And all the time she laughs at those

 Who shout her name and steal her clothes

  ?7

Veronica - Veronica - Veronica

 Veronica sits in her favourite chair

 And she sits very quiet and still

 And they call her name that they never get right

 And if they don't then nobody else will

 But she used to have a carefree mind of her own

 With devilish look in her eye

 Saying "You can call me anything you like

 But my name is Veronica"

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes

 Veronica has gone to hide?

 And all the time she laughs at those

 Who shout her name and steal her clothes

  ?7

Veronica - Veronica - Veronica
