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,
G D G A
'Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely.
G D/F#
Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing,
G D G A
But different than the day before.
G D/F#
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
G
She walked in through the out door (out door).
[Chorus]:
A G D/F#
She wore a Raspberry beret

The kind U 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
A G D/F#
Built like she was, uh, she had the nerve 2 ask me
G D G A
If I planned 2 do her any harm

So, look here, I put her on the back of my bike and-a we went riding
G D G A
Down by old man Johnson's farm
G D/F#
I said now, overcast days never turned me on
G D G A
But something about the clouds and her mixed
G D/F#
She wasn't 2 bright but I could tell

When she kissed me
She knew how 2 get her kicks

The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof,

Listen, they say the first time ain't the greatest
NC
But I tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again

I wouldn't change a stroke 'cause baby I'm the most,
E
With a girl as fine as she was then.

About this song: Raspberry Beret
"Raspberry Beret" is the first US (and second UK) single from Prince and The Revolution's 1985 album, Around the World in a Day, released on 15 May 1985. The sound was completely different from any previous Prince track, incorporating Middle-Eastern finger-cymbals, stringed instruments, and even a harmonica on the extended version. The song was also more in the pop vein than ever before, though the 12-inch single and video of the song feature a funky intro.
