Lyrics
1928 - Don Redman / Ray Gilbert

Cherry, Cherry, ain't it a shame 
That you can't be sweet as your name 
Always flirtin' havin' your fun 
Never certain if I'm the one 

But if I am I'll hang aroun' 
Till you grow up and set-tle down 
But will ya, while your hearts on a spree 
Cher-ry save your loving for me  

Cherry, Cherry, I’ll make a bet, 
Cherry, Cherry, I’ll get you yet! 
Someday, Cherry, you’ll be my pet. 
Right now, Cherry, the date is set! 

And when you’re mine, you’ll soon find out 
Just  what love is all about! 
Oh, Cherry, Cherry, you’re hard to get; 
Cherry, ba-by, I’ll get you yet!
