Lyrics

[Intro]

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, huh!

Yeah

[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, uh, 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

And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more

Raspberry beret

I think 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, look here

I put her on the back of my bike

And-a we went riding

Down by old man Johnson's farm

I said now, overcast days never turned me on

But something 'bout 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

Honey, you feel like a movie star

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

But I tell you, 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

Yeah!

[Chorus]

Ras- (Raspberry beret)

(The kind you find in a second hand store) The kind you find, the kind you find, oh no, no

(Raspberry beret) Uh-huh, uh, uh, uh-huh

(And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more) Where'd all my raspberry women go?

(Raspberry beret) Yeah, oh

I think I, I think I, I think I love her, oh no (Raspberry beret)

No, no, no, no, no, no (The kind you find in a second hand store)

I, I, I, I, I, I (Raspberry beret)

Tell me where all my raspberry women go? (And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more)
