[Verse 1 Richard Speight, Jr.] Well, I was working part time in a fiveanddime My boss was Mr. McGee He told me several times he didnt like my kind Cause I was a bit too leisurely Seems I was busy doing something close to nothing But different than the day before Well, thats when I saw her, ooh, I saw her She walked right through that door [Chorus Emma Fitzpatrick Molly Rogers] She wore a Raspberry beret The kind you find in a secondhand store Raspberry beret If it was warm, she wouldnt wear much more Raspberry beret I think I love her [Verse 2 Richard Speight, Jr.] Now built like she was, she had the nerve to ask me If I planned to do her any harm, hah! So I put her on the back of my bike and we went riding To old man Johnsons farm Overcast days never turned me on But something about the clouds and her mixed I aint too bright but I could tell when she kissed me She knew how to get her kicks [Chorus Emma Fitzpatrick, Molly Rogers Richard Speight, Jr.] She wore a Raspberry beret The kind you find in a secondhand store Raspberry beret If it was warm, she wouldnt wear much more Raspberry beret I gotta be honest, I think I love her [Bridge Richard Speight, Jr.] Now, 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 And you feel like a movie star Now listen, they say the first time aint the greatest But I tell you, if I had the chance to do it all again Hmm, who brought in the biscuits! I wouldnt change a stroke cause baby, Im the most With a girl as fine as she was then Are you kidding me? [Instrumental] [Chorus Emma Fitzpatrick, Molly Rogers Richard Speight, Jr.] Thats right, she wore a Raspberry beret Raspberry beret The kind you find in a secondhand store The kind you find in a little secondhand store Raspberry beret It was definitely a raspberry of color If it was warm she wouldnt wear much more And thats about all that woman was wearing You know what Im talking about? Raspberry beret Oh, have mercy I think I love her Damn right I love her [Outro Richard Speight, Jr.] All decked out in those sandals, cutoffs and a halter top Oh wait, maybe it was boots, corduroy slacks and a buttondown shirt Hell, I dont remember, I was too focused on that hat Oh, Im a beret man, Im not afraid to admit it A beret man from way back
