Black Cherry

Lyrics

It be night time when shadows fade  
She was dressed like a chamber maid  
All decked out in silk and I took her  
Like a cat takes to milk  
Come here little Queenie or...  
Has the cat got your tongue?  
Can't let nobody see me  
Come on girl while we're still young  
'Cause there's never been no lover's knot  
Can tie you down 'cause you're so hot  
Don't pinch me ass I may be dreamin'  
Hope tonight that I'll be screamin'  
  
Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry  
I like it, I like it, I like it  
  
She looked sheik in a funky way  
Tongue in cheek baby all the way  
Home girls they got pride, she said  
'One time around' I said 'Let's go for a ride'  
Come here little Queenie... Or ah  
Has the cat got your tongue?  
My best shot for a C note baby she said  
That's why this Janie's got a gun  
Because there's nothin' like a good time girl  
To take you twice around the world  
I'm so in lust I think I'm trippin'  
So in love I think I'm slippin'  
  
Down to the river, down to the river of love  
Where the love runs deep it's so sad it's a love you can't keep  
  
Down to the river, down to the river  
Abover 42nd Street it's so sad  
That the bad don't come cheap  
  
Because there's nothing like a good time girl  
To take you twice around the world  
Right to the land of milk and honey  
Leave your troubles, bring your money  
  
Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry  
I like it, I like it, I like it
