"BOC (She Sleeps With Her Hat On)" lyrics

Bonnie O'Cowin she sleeps with her hat on
They cut her hair an inch too high
In the morning she stares at
The mirror whose glares at
Just wondering whose inside

She's come out from the Midwest
Having left under duress
Her parents claim they have no child
But Bonnie's determined
To have sables and ermine
She wants to see the world in style

But Bonnie knows she's got what it takes
She'll make 'em pay for their mistakes
And see the world before it's too late
She's lookin' for that one big break

She rises before dawn
Puts her face and her hat on
She's got to go to work by eight

Spends her day downtown
Taking orders from some clown
It's a way of life she's learned to hate

Bonnie knows she's got what it takes
She'll make 'em pay for their mistakes
And see the world before it's too late
Lookin' for that one big break

Spends her day downtown
Taking orders from some clown
It's a way of life she's learned to hate

Bonnie knows she's got what it takes
He'sll make 'em pay for their mistakes
And see the world before it's too late
Lookin' for that one big break

Deep in her own world
She's a superstar queen
Of high fashion runways and magazines
I think you'd know her, you've seen her face
She's every girl next door in the USA
She hopes one day to see her name in lights
Saying Bonnie O'Cowin here tonight

I think you'd know her, you've seen her face
She's every girl next door in the USA
She hopes one day to see her name in lights
Saying Bonnie O'Cowin here tonight
