Raspberry Beret

I was working part time in the 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

I was always busy doing something close to nothing

Different then the time before

That's when I saw her, oh, 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

When it was warm she didn't wear much more

Raspberry beret, I think I love her

Built the way she was, she had the nerve to ask me

If I meant 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

Now rainy days never turned me on

But something about the way, the clouds and her mixed

She wasn't too bright to know the way she kissed me

I knew she knew how to get her kicks

She wore a raspberry beret

The kind you find in a second hand store

Raspberry beret

When it was warm she didn't wear much more

Raspberry beret, I think I love her

She wore a raspberry beret

The kind you find in a second hand store

Raspberry beret

When it was warm she didn't wear much more

Raspberry beret, I think I love her

She wore a raspberry beret

The kind you find in a second hand store

Raspberry beret

When it was warm she didn't wear much more

Raspberry beret, I think I love her
