• Dirty, rotten, filthy, stinkin'
  
  She's my cherry pie
  Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise
  Tastes so good, makes a grown man cry
  Sweet Cherry Pie, yeah
  
  Well, swingin' on the front porch, swingin' on the lawn
  Swingin' where we want 'cause there ain't nobody home
  Swingin' to the left and swingin' to the right
  If I think about baseball, I'll swing all night, yeah
  Yeah, yeah
  Swingin' in the living room, swingin' in the kitchen
  Most folks don't 'cause they're too busy bitchin'
  Swingin' in there 'cause she wanted me to feed her
  So I mixed up the batter and she licked the beater
  
  I scream, you scream, we all scream for her
  Don't even try 'cause you can't ignore her
  
  She's my cherry pie
  Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise
  Tastes so good, make a grown man cry
  Sweet cherry pie, oh yeah
  She's my cherry pie
  Put a smile on your face, ten miles wide
  Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye
  Sweet cherry pie, yeah
  
  Swingin' to the drums, swingin' to guitar
  Swingin' to the bass in the back of my car
  Ain't got money, ain't got no gas
  But we'll get where we're goin' if we swing real fast
  
  I scream, you scream, we all scream for her
  Don't even try 'cause you can't ignore her
  
  She's my cherry pie
  Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise
  Tastes so good, make a grown man cry
  Sweet cherry pie, oh yeah
  She's my cherry pie
  Put a smile on your face, ten miles wide
  Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye
  Sweet cherry pie, yeah, pie, yeah
  
  Yeah (swing it!)
  All night long
  (Swing it!)
  
  Like a trained professional
  
  Swingin the bathroom, swingin' on the floor
  Swingin' so hard, we forgot to lock the door
  In walks her daddy standin' 6 foot 4
  He said, "You ain't gonna swing with my daughter no more"
  
  She's my cherry pie
  Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise
  Tastes so good, make a grown man cry
  Sweet cherry pie, oh yeah
  She's my cherry pie
  Put a smile on your face, ten miles wide
  Looks so good, bring a tear to your eye
  Sweet cherry pie
  Sweet cherry pie, yeah, huh

• Warbotter from OhioIts a real shame as the original titular song "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is such a gem of a song, very errie. Crime Rock doesnt get its due.
• Jr from FloridaNo, I'm not into cherry pies. At all. These rockers should be ashamed of themselves for being so homophobic in the 80's. You can keep your cherry pies. I had no idea this song was about a woman's parts Lol.
• Ned from NjStupid lyrics seeking to be crude and sexual and required by people even more crude than the band itself--the fat cat executives with no morals.
• Dan Gillespy from Courtenay BcA very very good and a very very super duper cool glam rock classic.
• Zac from BarelasWhile the song got ritm, the lyrics have double meaning and yes,,,,, one of the best songs from back when.
  I think they could have done better with the dancing model.
  While she got a beautiful face, her moves and outfit are hotter than what was acceptable back then.
  She is so thin, bordering anorexic status. falling into the broth/stew material cathegory rather than a stuffy cherry pie.
• Kim from Wadsworth , OhI love this song no matter what anyone says. I'm only 20 so I wasn't old enough to remember when hair metal was huge, but it's all I listen to. Warrant was a great band, and this is a great song
• Steve from Portland, MdIf I'm not mistaken Bobbi Brown was a 13 time Star Search spokesmodel winner...
• Cj from H-town, Ctmetal never died hair metal fade died and now its having a come back
• Jasmine from Allentown, Paok i just have to say i dont think grundge killed metal i think metal had to die out so it could come back the way it is and really you have to admit this song is pretty cool and even though i am a girl bobbi brown is hot
• Jack from Beaverton, OrThis song has no creativity what so ever.
• Lee from Brigg, Englandthis song is amazing on g h 2
• Matt from Brodheadsville, PaGotta hate hair metal. I'm glad some real bands like Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden came into the picture to eliminate the wanna-be rocker bands like Warrant.
• Mel from Mattoon, IlSorry you aren't into women, Jake. I like songs about girls and partying. This song is cartoonish. Don't take it too seriously. I still prefer this to Nirvana's manic depression set to poorly produced music.
• Hunter from Marshamellow, Vato brooke from GA, yes cc was in poison, but he did the solo for this song, they put him in the video for it also
• Chenel from Salamanca, Nyterribly bad. probably because i am not the biggest hair band fan, but at least the girl was good in the video!
• Juan from El Paso, TxCraig in madison, WI
  Sure Nirvana was bit more talented than Warrant but rock is about good times and having a free spirit. I'd much rather hear a song and watch a video about a sexy girl than listen to kurt cobain whine and complain about how much his life sucks.
• Brooke from Silver Creek, Gano one has to be a youngester to understand that grunge killed hair bands it was ghey but it happened..... i do believe that was also when erveryone was drinking smoking and killing themselves grunge sucks waaaay out oud
• Brooke from Silver Creek, Gano cc is in posion this was a warrant song
• Joe from Franklin, TnI think it was this song that I think it was Jani Lane was talking about when he said he wanted to kill himself for wrighting it on VH1's Heavy:the metal story.
  
  
  Is it a he, Jani seems like a girls name (I'm not a fan of the band, I haven't even heard the song, I just saw it on the VH1 thing)
• Jen from Ontario, Canadai might sound like an idiot saying this (because im not really familiar with the band, love the song though) but was that C.C. Dville (Poison) on the guitar?
  
  Great song!
• Mia from Wellston, MiJimi, seriously, I bet they are worth alot!!
• Bard from Oregon, WiI don't care what anyone says, Warrant was one of the best hair bands of all time
• Craig from Madison, WiFor all you youngsters who don't understand what the big deal was in the early 90's, get a copy of this video, and get a copy of Nirvana's video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit," which came out less than a year later. Cherry Pie and Warrant have been called the nadir of hair metal-the low point of the most popular type of rock in the late 80's--a sign that a change had to come. It couldn't go any lower after them. Nirvana showed up and blew them all to hell in one stroke.
• Caitlin from Sailsbury, Ncthis is one of my favorite songs in the whole world!
