Bernice Bobs Her Hair Letra

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
