Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sherry, Sherry baby
Sherry, Sherry baby

Sherry baby (sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight?
(Come, come, come out tonight)
Sherry baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight?

(Why don't you come out)
Come out to my twist party
(Come out) Where the bright lights shine
(Come out) We'll dance the night away
I'm gonna make you mine

Sherry baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight
(Come come, come out tonight)
You'd better ask your mama (Sherry baby)
Tell her everything is alright

(Why don't you come out)
With your red dress on
(Come out) Ohh, you look so fine
(Ccome out) Move it nice and easy
Girl, you make me lose my mind

Sherry baby (sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight?
(Come, come, come out tonight)
(Come, come, come out tonight)
(Come, come, come out tonight)
Sherry, Sherry baby

Sherry, Sherry baby
(Come, come, come out tonight)
