Bernice Bobs Her Hair
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
Bernice Corta o Cabelo
Bernice corta o cabelo no barbeiro da praça
Todos os novos amigos estão lá pra ver isso acontecer
Bernice corta o cabelo
Ela foi levada ao desespero
Porque sua prima não se importa com ninguém
O cabelo dela era longo
O cabelo dela era escuro
O cabelo caía pelas costas
E agora está jogado no chão
Bernice sai correndo pela porta
Marjorie tinha dito o que usar nas festas
Marjorie tinha dito o que falar com os boys
Agora Marjorie estava com ciúmes dos avanços sociais dela
E apresentou essa escolha
"Bernice, corta o cabelo
Você sempre declarou essa intenção
Você se atreve a discordar?"
Então Bernice corta o cabelo e é instantaneamente presa
Na armadilha tão bem preparada por Marjorie
