Black Cherry

[Verse 1] 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 Because there's never been no lover's knot Can tie you down because you're so hot Don't pinch me ass I may be dreaming Hope tonight that I'll be screaming [Chorus] Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry I like it, I like it, I like it [Verse 2] 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 nothing like a good time girl To take you twice around the world I'm so in lust I think I'm tripping So in love I think I'm slipping 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 [Chorus]
