The Divine Comedy - Bernice Bobs Her Hair lyrics

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 flowed 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 the trap so well prepared by marjorie
