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
