Berkeley Girl Lyrics
She is juniper and roses
She is amethyst and pearl
And though she makes her home in Hollywood
She's really just a Berkeley girl
She's the breeze on Sunday morning
Blowing down a country lane
She's got the style of Paulette Goddard
And the smile of Joan Fontaine
And she drives a Karmann Ghia
Through the streets of Silver Lake
And the hills of Echo Park
She is crinoline and satin
She is leopard skin and lace
Hard to believe that she believed in me
When I was such a hopeless case
And she knows from love and service
Yes she knows from peace of mind
To be not sinister in purpose
And to never be unkind
And she loves a Tulsi garden
And she loves her rock 'n roll
And she's never far from my mind
She is juniper and roses
Guess I'll sing it once again
And though we are no longer lovers
I know she'll always be my friend
So if you're ever right beside her
Drivin' down the 101
Be thankful that you're with a Berkeley girl
Who's beautiful beneath the moon and the sun
She is amethyst and pearl
And though she makes her home in Hollywood
She's really just a Berkeley girl
Blowing down a country lane
She's got the style of Paulette Goddard
And the smile of Joan Fontaine
And she drives a Karmann Ghia
Through the streets of Silver Lake
And the hills of Echo Park
She is leopard skin and lace
Hard to believe that she believed in me
When I was such a hopeless case
Yes she knows from peace of mind
To be not sinister in purpose
And to never be unkind
And she loves a Tulsi garden
And she loves her rock 'n roll
And she's never far from my mind
Guess I'll sing it once again
And though we are no longer lovers
I know she'll always be my friend
Drivin' down the 101
Be thankful that you're with a Berkeley girl
Who's beautiful beneath the moon and the sun

She drives a Karmann Gia Through the streets of Silver Lake And the hills of Echo Park
Silver Lake and Echo Park are neighborhoods of LA - Echo Park is very steep, Chavez Ravine and Dodger Stadium
Paulette Goddard and Tulsi garden I don't think are right, either, but I don't have suggestions.
Paulette Goddard and Tulsi gardens are correct. Paulette Goddard was a famous film star in the '30's and '40's, she lived with Charlie Chaplin. Tulsi is an aromatic herb. I laughed so much at the line "she is criminal in satin" !!! I can't help but sing these lyrics now.

Joan Fontaine, not June Fontaine.
She is crinoline and satin - not criminal.
I think the correct lyrics are as follows:
She is juniper and roses She is amethyst and pearl And though she makes her home in Hollywood She's really just a Berkeley girl

And she knows from love and service Yes she knows from peace of mind To be not sinister in purpose And to never be unkind And she loves a Tulsi garden And she loves her rock and roll And she's never far from my mind, no.

So if you're ever ride beside her Drivin' down the 101 Be thankful that you're with a Berkeley girl Who's beautiful beneath the moon and the sun
