The Kinks - Bernadette lyrics
[The Kinks - Bernadette lyrics]
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
For giving others a bad name
Ohh, Bernadette, you are so expensive
Ooh, Bernadette, Bernadette ooh, Bernadette
I think you're sad
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

Ooh, Bernadette, Bernadette ooh, Bernadette
I think you're sad
