SINGER: The Kinks

SONG:Bernadette

I don't wanna leave, bernadette,
but i don't wanna live with the jet set.
i don't wanna leave with you payin' all my debts,
with that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, bernadette, you are so expensive.
you've never done a day's work in your life,
you've got no incentive.
you've made a career out of punting off all of the men you've slept with.
ooh, bernadette, you are so expensive.
I can't get a job, bernadette,
so all that i can offer are a lot of bad debts
if you marry me, bernadette,
you'll lose the alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
Ooh, bernadette, you are so expensive.
you've never done a day's work in your life,
you've got no incentive.
you've made a career out of punting off all of the men you've slept with.
ooh, bernadette, you are so expensive.
ooh, bernadette, bernadette.
ooh, bernadette, bernadette.
[bernadette's got a house in the country,
she's really got it made.
her lawyers made her filthy rich,
she's got all expenses paid.]
Maybe a famous rock star will fly you away,
then you'll eat him all up,
and spit him out,
with a dash of perrier.
And when you've had enough
you'll throw him away,
and take him for all you can get.
yeah, you like it don't you, bernadette?
I don't want to leave bernadette,
but i wanna keep a little bit of self respect.
i don't want to leave with you paying all my debts,
with that alimony, palimony, whatever it is you get.
ooh, bernadette, you are so expensive.
you've never done a day's work in your life.
you've got no incentive.
women like you oughta be locked up, -ac
