A Girl Like That

from tHE pENTAGONIST by Mark Alan Dooley

/

lyrics

Verse 1:
Veronika was a dancer.
A refugee from the Ukraine;
The Motherland of those with nothing.
She’ll never go back there again.
She looked just like a school girl,
If school girls carried guns.
Worked her way on past the Lincolns
Right up to the Benjamins.

Chorus:
A stone cold Russian angel.
Eyes just like a jungle cat.
So much more than you can handle.
Hard to find a girl like that.

Verse 2:
Bobby T, he drove a taxi.
Bounced the club on Friday nights.
Got all sweet on Veronika.
You could see it in his eyes.
They ran a low key escort service.
Bobby did what he did best:
Transportation and protection.
Veronika did the rest.

Chorus:
All those hungry Russian winters.
Not a single ounce of fat.
She looked just like a school girl.
Hard to find a girl like that.

Verse 3:
One night a new John started bragging
‘Bout dirty deals and jobs he’d done.
Lots of cash in secret places.
Enough to live life on the run.
Veronika pulled her pistol.
A nickel plated Tokarev.
They talked about those secret places.
She pulled the trigger, shot him dead.

Chorus:
All those hungry Russian winters.
She had to watch out for the rats.
Take ‘em out with just one bullet.
Hard to find a girl like that.

Verse 4:
Veronika screamed for Bobby.
Then she hid behind the door.
Shot him with the John’s revolver.
Arranged the bodies on the floor.
You know the D.A. had suspicions.
Smelled a hungry Russian rat.
He’ll never take her deposition.
It’s hard to find a girl like that.

Outro:
Hard to find a girl like that.
Hard to find a girl like that.
You can’t find a girl like that.
Took the cash and kept on moving.
You can’t find a girl like that.
Never find a girl like that.
Never find a girl like that.
