WARREN ZEVON - RASPBERRY BERET lyrics

rate me

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)
