There's a new girl in town Nobody knows her well She's the kind of a woman You can hardly tell If when you get her alone Will she know how to please Or will she float through your arms Like a cool lacey breeze Oh Bernadiah Used to see her working Down at the superette Staring at me across the counter In some old lady dress But no rag could conceal All the promise in her glance And I want her so bad Just give me the chance Oh Bernadiah You walk so slow Your eyes are on fire It's a Saturday night I was looking for a dream Asked her to the dance She said "What do you mean?" When I got there I found her Doing some devil's step When I tried to do it too She just laughed Oh Bernadiah
