One, two, one, two, three, yeah
00:05
I was working part time in a five-and-dime
01:12
My boss was Mr. McGee
01:16
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
01:20
'Cause I was a bit too leisurely
01:24
Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
01:28
But different than the day before
01:33
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
01:36
She walked in through the out door, out door
01:40
She wore a raspberry beret
01:44
The kind you find in a second hand store
01:47
Raspberry beret
01:52
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
01:56
Raspberry beret, I think, I love her
02:00
Built like she was, she had the nerve to ask me
02:09
If I planned to do her any harm
02:13
So look here, I put her on the back of my bike
02:15
And we went riding down by old man Johnson's farm
02:18
I said now, overcast days never turned me on
02:22
But something about the clouds and her mixed
02:26
She wasn't too bright but I could tell when she kissed me
02:31
She knew how to get her kicks
02:35
She wore a raspberry beret
02:39
The kind you find in a second hand store
02:42
Raspberry beret
02:47
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
02:51
Raspberry beret, I think, I love her
02:55
The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof
03:03
And the horses wonder who you are
03:07
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
03:11
You feel like a movie star
03:15
Listen, they say the first time ain't the greatest
03:19
But I tell ya if I had the chance to do it all again
03:23
I wouldn't change a stroke 'cause, baby, I'm the most
03:27
With a girl as fine as she was then
03:31
(Raspberry beret)
03:35
The kind you find
03:38
(The kind you find)
03:39
The kind you find
03:41
(In a second hand store)
03:43
Oh, no no
03:46
(Raspberry beret and if it was warm)
03:47
Where have all the raspberry women gone?
03:51
(She wouldn't wear much more)
03:52
Yeah
03:54
(Raspberry beret)
03:55
I think I, I think I
03:58
I think I love her
04:00
(Raspberry beret)
04:02
No no no, no no no
04:04
(The kind you find in a second hand store)
04:07
(Raspberry beret)
04:10
Tell me where have all the raspberry women gone?
04:12
(And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more)
04:15
(Raspberry beret)
04:17
I think I love
04:19

One, two, one, two, three, yeahI 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, ooh, 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
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret, I think, I love her
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 we went riding down by old man Johnson's farm

But something about the clouds and her mixed
She wasn't too bright but I could tell when she kissed me
