I really do love the song "Cherry Bay". I just listened to it and jotted
down the lyrics to share here, as I believe they tell a heart-wrenching
story of young love. Here's the lyrics:
<cough>
Blue jean baby with a kinda sorta maybe
What's up little lady, ain't you got nothin' to say
Or nowhere to play
Back street junkie, go on do the funky monkey
Was a high school flunky, you know I always got me an "A"
Or whaty'd she say?
She said don't do this 'n don't do that
Don't touch nothin', she knew where it was at
Told her I was leavin', no way she'd make me stay
Until the day she took me all the way
To Cherry Bay
What do you say?
Cherry Bay
Aw baby can you come out and play?
Crackshot, talk a lot, on the spot, forget me not
Kumquat, astronaut, don't you think you ought to learn to play
Aw call it a day
Two bop skinny and a skinny skin so pretty (I think, it's hard to tell)
Never gave me any so I took, took, took, took, took it away
Wanna roll in the hay?
They said don't do this 'n don't do that
Don't touch nothin', they knew where it was at
Told them I was leavin', no way they'd make me stay
Until the day they took me all the way
To Cherry Bay
What do you say? Wooooo!
Cherry Bay
Aw baby can you come out and play?
It isn't easy what some folks wanna do
You're always (something) cause they never want you
It's such a pity, drivin' you insane
With a plain Jane, ball and chain, pullin' on your wagon train (again, I
think)
She said don't do this 'n don't do that
Don't touch nothin', she knew where it was at
Told her I was leavin', no way she'd make me stay
Until the day she took me all the way
Cherry Bay, baby
Cherry Bay, aw took, took, took, took
Cherry Bay, What do ya say?
Aw ch-ch-ch-ch-Cherry Bay
Great stuff!
Whit

Whit,
It's funny you mention the song "Cherry Bay", the one and only time I was a
judge for a Battle of the Bands (somebody got sick, so a DJ called me). This
band was playing mostly all covers. But they said, "We like to play you our
new song we just wrote" & they played "Cherry Bay". I had to put on paper
what I thought about their performance. I wrote..."Nice energy, good
playing, the singer could be better off singer more songs in his range
though, and great songwriting!! Especially the Roxanne song & YES I have the
Album!!"
Oh I wish Simon was around then!! You should have seen the look those guys
gave me after they read what I wrote, they thought they pulled a fast
one.LOL
