  • Your Mamma's yappin' in the back seat
    Tell her to push over and move them big feet
    Every Monday morning I gotta drive her down to the unemployment agency
    Well this morning I ain't fighting tell her I give up
    Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up
    But it's the last time that she's gonna be ridin' with me

    You can tell her there's a hot sun beatin' on the black top
    She keeps talkin' she'll be walkin' that last block
    She can take a subway back to the ghetto tonight
    Well I got some beer and the highway's free
    And I got you, and baby you've got me
    Hey, hey, hey what you say Sherry Darlin'

    Now there's girls melting on the beach
    And they're so fine but so out of reach
    'Cause I'm stuck in traffic down here on fifty third street
    Now Sherry my love for you is real
    But I didn't count on this package deal
    And baby this car just ain't big enough for her and me

    So you can tell her there's a hot sun beatin' on the black top
    She keeps talkin' she'll be walkin' that last block
    She can take a subway back to the ghetto tonight
    Well I got some beer and the highway's free
    And I got you, and baby you've got me
    Hey, hey, hey what you say Sherry Darlin'

    Well let there be sunlight, let there be rain
    Let the brokenhearted love again
    Sherry we can run with our arms open wide before the tide
    To all the girls down at Sacred Heart
    And all you operators back in the park
    Say hey, hey, hey what you say Sherry Darlin'
    Ho, ho, ho, say, hey, hey, what you say Sherry Darlin', oh come on
    Say hey, hey, hey, what you say Sherry Darlin' Writer/s: Bruce Springsteen
