SHERRY DARLING

Early version 3

Hey, hey, hey, what do you say, Sherry Darling.

Well, your mama's yappin' in the back seat,
Tell her "push over and move them big feet,"
Every Monday morning I gotta drive her to the agency.

Well, tell her "I ain't fighting", tell her "I give up."
Tell her she wins, but, if she'll just shut up.
The last time that she's gonna be riding with me.

Well, tell her there's a hot sun beatin' on the blacktop,
She keeps walking, walking that last block
It'll take her together??, back to the ghetto tonight.
Well, I got some beer and the highway's free,
And I got you and baby, you got me.
Hey, hey, hey, what do you say, Sherry Darling.

Big Man...

Well, little kid's waiting on the beach,
they're so fine, but they're out of reach,
and they never go on down to the river like me.
Well, let them run before the tide,
with our heart open wide,
and let them all come running, baby you're on...
(this is, Let there be sunlight)

So let there be sunlight, let there be rain,
Let the broken hearted love again,
and all the kids are going to be alright this time.
For all the girls down at Sacred Heart,
and all you operators back in the park,
Hey, hey, hey, what do you say, Sherry Darling

It's party time.
Hey, hey, hey, what do you say, Sherry Darling
Hey, hey, hey, what do you say, Sherry Darling
Hey, hey, hey, what do you say, Sherry Darling
