             F                  A#
Your mama's yapping in the backseat
                 C                       F
Tell her to push over and move them big feet
                 A#
Every Monday morning
                   C                         F
I gotta drive her down to the unemployment agency
C                          F
Well this morning I ain't fighting tell her
       A#
I give up
              C                       F
Tell her she wins if she'll just shut up
              A#                   C
But it's the last time that she's gonna
                F  A#
be riding with me

Chorus:
F                              A#
And you can tell her there's a hot
                     C
sun beating on the black top
                                          F
She keeps talking she'll be walking that last block
        Dm                                  C
She can take a subway back to the ghetto tonight
                 F                       A#
Well I got some beer and the highway's free
           C                       F
And I got you and baby you've got me
           A#            C          F     A# F C
Hey, hey, hey, what you say Sherry Darling

Now there's girls melting on the beach
Oh they're so fine and so out of reach
'Cause I'm stuck in traffic down here on 53rd 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

Chorus:
So you can tell her there's a hot sun beatin'
on the blacktop
She keeps talking, 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 Darling?
(Let go!)

Well let there be sunlight, let there be rain
Let my broken heart 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

Chorus:
Say hey, hey, hey, what you say, Sherry Darling?
Whoa whoa, right
Say, hey, hey, what you say, Sherry Darling?
Oh, come on
Say, hey, hey, hey, what you say, Sherry Darling?
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
