Cherry

Hey Cherry, hey girl, beautiful mulatto, hey lady, oh big girl

I’m heading down the street, taking it slow and steady
That old lady waved at me, looking all ready
So I puffed out my chest, rolled up my sleeves
I looked at the lady straight, and I couldn’t believe
And from the brake that made the wheel swell, I opened the door with care
It filled my vision, left me feeling all kinds of bare

Hey, it’s Cherry, hey girl, beautiful mulatto, hey lady, oh big girl

The other day I spotted you on the main road
Cherry, Cherry, I shouted, my effort was bold
I offered you a ride, and you said thanks with a smile
When we crossed that block, oh, my heart raced a mile

Hey Cherry, hey girl, beautiful mulatto, hey lady, oh big girl

Hmm, I’ve never seen such sweetness, never felt so loved
Oh my God, so much tenderness, got me all fired up
Today I’m searching for the girl who took off
My heart’s got no remedy, my darling, it’s gone soft

Hey Cherry (oh mama, my Cherry)
