When she gets here send her up to my room
You got it?
Cherry
Tina
Cherry
Tina, Tina
But she plays a trick every day
It won't seem like it when you need her
But she has some nasty names
She works, and works
Her hips, her thighs
She works, and works
Her lips, her eyes
She works, and works
Her hair, her clothes
She works it
Ohh la la
Very hard, Tina
Very hard, Tina
Tina, Tina
Tina, Tina, Cherry
Tina, Tina
Tina, Tina, Cherry
Ohh la la
You got it?
You got it?
You got it?
You got it?
She says her daddy is Creole (New Orleans)
And her mom is Latin
All the guys flip out when they see her
To me she's not happennin'
She works, and works
Me and the wrong guy
She works, and works
She tries to be a lie
She works, and works
All of my freinds
She works it
Ohh la la
Tina, Tina
Tina, Tina, Cherry
Tina, Tina
Tina, Tina, I want
Tina, Tina
Tina, Tina, Cherry
Tina, Tina
Tina, Tina, I want
Tina, Tina
Tina, Tina, Cherry
Tina Cherry here's a message to you
I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do
Tina tell me what you want to be
I already know that you're easy
Tina baby don't make it hard
We're almost there let me park my car
I want a chocolate shake and a rasberry cake
To top it off I want your cherry to go
The lyrics to Georgio's song "Tina Cherry" describe a woman named Tina who the singer is clearly obsessed with. The song is essentially a catalog of her physical attributes and the way she works and moves, with the repeated refrain of "Tina, Tina, Cherry" emphasizing her name and her irresistible allure. The singer talks about Tina's mixed heritage (her father is Creole and her mother is Latin) and the way that she plays tricks on people, but ultimately, he just can't resist her.
The chorus of the song is where the obsession with Tina really comes through, with the singer repeating "Tina, Tina, Cherry" and encouraging her to "work it" with her hips, thighs, lips, eyes, hair, and clothes. He repeatedly tells her to work harder and harder, while also acknowledging that she has some "nasty names" that she can call people. Despite all this, the singer seems to have a somewhat conflicted relationship with Tina, describing her as "not happening" in some moments and acknowledging that she "tries to be a lie."
Overall, "Tina Cherry" is a song about sexual attraction and desire, with a heavy focus on physical appearance and movement. The repeated use of Tina's name and the refrain of "Tina, Tina, Cherry" underscores the fixation that the singer has on her, while the descriptions of her various body parts and the way she works them suggest a very physical, almost animalistic attraction.

Bad to the bone in the 80's. Wished clubs and music was the same now as they were back then. More fun, less violence.
