Bernice bobs her hair in the barber's in the square All her new-found friends are there to see it done Bernice bobs her hair she's been driven to despair 'Cause her cousin doesn't care about anyone Her hair was long, her hair was dark Her hair fell down her back And now it lies upon the floor Bernice runs out the door Marjorie had told her what to wear to the parties Marjorie had told her what to say to the boys Now Marjorie was jealous of her social advances And presented her with this choice "Bernice, bob your hair You've persistently declared this intention Do you dare to disagree?" So Bernice bobs her hair and is instantly ensnared In a trap so well prepared by Marjorie Her hair was long, her hair was dark Her hair fell down her back The mirror tells of her mistake Her heart is fit to break So when it's dark and her cousin sleeps Into the room she creeps Marjorie's curls come down like rain Bernice runs for her train I was born yesterday I, I was born yesterday And I believe all that you say I have no choice I must obey you Is this the first or the second day Of the rest of my life Well hey Why should I care either way If what you say is true? Saturday morning, 18th of December I cannot remember The last time that I saw such a young ballerina In love with the loveless In tune with a tuneless old upright piano Standing en pointe Going through each position with gentle precision She measures each movement Her classical features and elegant waistline Are going to waste while she pleases her parents What if they die on the road to Rathmines Where a dog in two minds times his run to perfection An orphan at last, She'd be sick in the loo-bowl Then go to the funeral and cry by the graveside And then sleep with the first man she sees And she'd catch some disease Which she would give to her doctor She'd cook her own breakfast, and she'd cook his as well And both get on swell Even though he was married You are a part of me I am a part of you Why should I let you walk all over me? All over me
