I
was working part time
in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee…
He
told me several times that
he didn't like my 'kind'
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely…
Seems
that I was busy doing something close to nothing,
But different than the day before;
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the 'out door', out door…
But different than the day before;
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the 'out door', out door…
She
wore a
Raspberry beret,
The kind you find in a
second hand store;
Raspberry beret,
And if it was warm she
wouldn't wear much more…
Raspberry
beret
I think I love her…
Built
like she was,
She had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do her any harm;
So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
If I planned to do her any harm;
So, look here
I put her on the back of my bike
...
And
we went riding
Down by old man Johnson's farm…
I
said now, overcast days never turned me on,
But something about the clouds
and her "mixed"
She
wasn't too bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks…
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks…
She
wore a
Raspberry beret,
The kind you find in a second
hand store;
Raspberry beret,
And if it was warm she
And if it was warm she
wouldn't wear much more;
Raspberry beret,
(I think I love her)
The rain sounds so
cool
when it hits the barn roof…
And the horses wonder who you are;
Thunder drowns out what the
lightning sees...
… You feel like a movie star
Listen,
They say the first time ain't the
greatest...
But
I tell ya,
If I had the chance to do it all again
I wouldn't change a stroke,
'Cause baby I'm the most
With a girl as fine as she was then…
RASPBERRY
BERET...
The kind you find (The kind you find)
The kind you find (In a second hand
store)
Oh no, no,
(Raspberry beret)
(And if it was warm)…
Where have all the
raspberry women gone?
Yeah (Raspberry beret)
I
think I, I think I, I think I love her…
Tell me,
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (And if it was warm she)
(Wouldn't wear much more)
(Raspberry beret)...
Where have all the raspberry women gone? (And if it was warm she)
(Wouldn't wear much more)
(Raspberry beret)...
R.I.P.,
musical genius.
