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 Cuz 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 (chorus): 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 (repeat chorus to fade)
