[Verse 1]

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, that's when I saw her

She walked in through the out door, out door

She wore a...

[Hook]

Raspberry beret

The kind you find in a second hand store

Raspberry beret

If it was warm she wouldn't wear much more

Raspberry beret

I love her

[Verse 2]

Built like she was

She had the nerve to ask me

If I planned to do her any harm

So I

Put her on the back of my bike

And we went riding

Down by old man Johnson's farm

And overcast days never turned me on

But something about the clouds and her mixed

I think she knew I wasn't too bright

I could tell when she kissed me

She knew how to get her kicks

She wore a...

[Hook]

Raspberry beret

The kind you find in a second hand store

Raspberry beret

If it was warm she wouldn't wear much more

Raspberry beret

And I love her

[Verse 3]

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof

And the horses just wonder who you are

Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees

You feel just like a movie star

And, they say the first time ain't the greatest

But, if I had the chance to do it all again

I wouldn't change a note

Cause baby I'm the most

With a girl as fine as she was then

[Hook]

Raspberry beret

The kind you find in a second hand store

Raspberry beret

If it was warm she wouldn't wear much more

Raspberry beret

And I love her
