The Kinks

The Kinks were an English rock band formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray and Dave Davies in 1964. Categorised in the United States as a British Invasion band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. Their music was influenced by a wide range of genres, including rhythm and blues, British music hall, folk and country. Ray Davies (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Dave Davies (lead guitar, vocals) remained members throughout the group's 32-year run. Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively.

I don't want to leave, Bernadette, 
But I don't want to live with the jet set. 
I don't want to 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 want to 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
