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…
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
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
...
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…
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)
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)...
R.I.P.,
musical genius.
