PRETTY FLAMINGO

Bruce Springsteen lyrics

All the guys of my block call her flamingo
Cause her hair shines like the sun
And her eyes light up the sky
When she walks  she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that walk so tight
She was out of reach she was out of sight
When she walks she brightens up my neighbourhood
I know all of the guys would make her his if they could
If she just would
Well some day I'll make her my girl pretty flamingo
Know that all you guys will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
Pretty flamingo pretty flamingo
When she walked she brightened up my neighbourhood
All of the guys would make her his if they could
If she just would, but she never would
Well some day I'll make her my girl pretty flamingo
And all you guys will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be.....
