Do you remember the working girl
She was a
Heroine to me
Kept herself in a vial of water
Evidentially
She watched the boardwalk
As the children came to play
She wished for the years
That she had sent away
Outwardly
Yes you knew
Her
When she was a girl
And now she is no more
Do you remember her flashing smile
And the teeth she left behind
You remember her memories
But not her mind
The fish market wives
Always howl their cruel response
They look for victims they can hang it on
Outwardly
Yes you knew
Her
When she was a girl
And now she is no more
I've seen a dream or two and I've watched them fade
I've watched the cars drive by the motorcade
You can make both pride and prejudice
Your friend again
You can make a king of anyone
Outwardly
Yes you knew
Her
When she was a girl
But now she is no more
