SHERRY DARLING

Early version 1

Hey hey hey, what you say, Sherry Darlin'
Your mamma's yappin' in the back seat
Tell her to push over and move them big feet
Every Monday morning I gotta drag her down to the agency
Well tell her I ain't fighting I give up
Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up
But it's the last time that she's ridin' with me

And you can tell her there's a hot sun beatin' on the blacktop
She keeps talkin' she'll be walkin' that last block
Tell her she can take a subway back to the ghetto tonight
Well I got some beer and the highway's free
And I got you, and baby you've got me
Hey, hey, hey whataya say Sherry Darlin'

Alright, Big Man on the air
One more time, singing fine

Well now there's girls melting on the beach
Whoa and they're so bad they're way out of reach
They ain't looking for a working boy like me
Tonight we'll run before the tide
With our arms open wide
And they all come running, let'em, down to the sea
So let there be sunlight, let there be rain
Let the brokenhearted love again
Na na na na, na na na na na
We'll let the keeper of the Sacred Heart
And all you operators back in the Park
Say hey, hey, hey whataya say Sherry Darlin'
It's Boss time

Well let there be sunlight, let there be rain
Let the brokenhearted love again
Na na na na, na na na na na alright
Well let Jenny, well she keeps my Heart
And all you operators back in the Park
Say hey, hey, hey whataya say Sherry Darlin'
Alright Big Man, on the air
Say hey, hey, hey whataya say Sherry Darlin'
Whoa whoa whoa
Say hey, hey, hey whataya say Sherry Darlin'
Once more, once more
Say hey, hey, hey whataya say Sherry Darlin'
