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.
