Better Lyrics:
I was working part-time in a five and dime
My boss was really ugly
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
Cuz I was doin all his work
Seems that I was busy doin my work and his work
No different than the day before
That's when I saw him
EWWW I saw him
He was pushing on the pull door, pull door
He wore a raspberry tux
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry tux
And when it was warm he wouldn't wear his shorts
Raspberry tux
I think I loathe him
My boss was really ugly
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
Cuz I was doin all his work
Seems that I was busy doin my work and his work
No different than the day before
That's when I saw him
EWWW I saw him
He was pushing on the pull door, pull door
He wore a raspberry tux
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry tux
And when it was warm he wouldn't wear his shorts
Raspberry tux
I think I loathe him
Original Lyrics:
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

That's when I saw her
Ooh I saw her
She walked in through the out door out door
She wore a raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second-hand store
Raspberry beret
And when it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
Cuz I was a bit to leisurely
Seems that I was busy doing somethin close to nothin
No different than the day before
That's when I saw her
Ooh I saw her
She walked in through the out door out door
