Your momma's yappin' in the back seat
Tell her to push over and move them big feet
Every Monday morning I gotta drive her down to the unemployment agency
Well this morning I ain't fighting, tell her I give up
Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up
But it's the last time that she's gonna be ridin' with me

You can tell her there's a hot sun beatin' on the blacktop
She keeps talkin' she'll be walkin' that last block
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, what d'ya say, Sherry Darlin'

Now there's girls melting on the beach
And they're so fine but so far out of reach
'Cause I'm stuck in traffic down here on 53rd Street
Now, Sherry, my love for you is real
But I didn't count on this package deal
And, baby, this car just ain't big enough for her and me

So you can tell her there's a hot sun beatin' on the blacktop
She keeps talkin' she'll be walkin' that last block
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, what d'ya say, Sherry Darlin'

Well, let there be sunlight, let there be rain
Let the broken-heart love again
Sherry, we can run with our arms open before the tide
To all the girls down at Sacred Heart
And all you operators back in the Park
Say hey, hey, hey, what d'ya say, Sherry Darlin'
Hey, hey, hey, what d'ya say, Sherry Darlin'
