about

veronica lake was a famous 40s/50s hollywood actress...she had a lock of her that fell over her forehead on the right side...played the femme fatale, and did it very well. the star of this song was named after veronica lake.

lyrics

well there once was a girl called ronnie
who was born & raised on a small country farm
in the wheatbelt of south australia
just outside a small town full of charm
ronnie was born in 54, she was namd after the actress veronica lake,
she helped milk the cows & churn the butter, she helped bake the cake, bake the cake.
Ronnie was an only child there were no other kids nearby, they were raising hogs, so she spent a lot of time roaming stony hills with the cattle dogs
and sitting on the porch flicking thru big city store catalogs
and on weekdays she waited for the school bus and every morning at eight am
she'd get on the bus that took the farm kids
to the primary school in the town seven miles away
for seven years.

now veronica lake was famous for a lock of her long blonde hair that fell seductively across her face and lent her a mysterious and that seductive style was favoured by her mother and she dyed her own hair in that style but the results were far from glamorous ...the ladies at the methodist church all they did was look and look and ronnie's father said he was humiliated and she couldn't act that way. (to be continued)
