lyrics
Do you like my beret?
I got it just the other day
from some kind passerby
Who never looked me in the eyes
It brings me joy
I suppose like it would you
A new Cadillac,
A wood deck out back,
A new Armani suit,
Do you like my beret?
Would you like me to dance?
Or sing a song please give me a chance
To make a decent and honest living,
I’ll take whatever you find yourself, giving
To entertain.
I’ve seen you too…
down on your knees making money
They keep you running
Through fire-burning hoops
Do you like my beret?
Do you like my green eyes?
They are the doors which will lead you to my thighs
But it will cost you,
As it must cost me my dignity
My babies got to eat
So like you I cling to a man, modern slavery
My men wont marry me
Well, at least I’m not kept around the clock like you
Do you like my beret?
Take a look, take a good look
Take a look, take a real good look
I’ve got a mirror,
You too could be here
I got it just the other day
from some kind passerby
Who never looked me in the eyes
It brings me joy
I suppose like it would you
A new Cadillac,
A wood deck out back,
A new Armani suit,
Do you like my beret?
Would you like me to dance?
Or sing a song please give me a chance
To make a decent and honest living,
I’ll take whatever you find yourself, giving
To entertain.
I’ve seen you too…
down on your knees making money
They keep you running
Through fire-burning hoops
Do you like my beret?
Do you like my green eyes?
They are the doors which will lead you to my thighs
But it will cost you,
As it must cost me my dignity
My babies got to eat
So like you I cling to a man, modern slavery
My men wont marry me
Well, at least I’m not kept around the clock like you
Do you like my beret?
Take a look, take a good look
Take a look, take a real good look
I’ve got a mirror,
You too could be here
