It be night time when shadows fade
  She was dressed like a chamber maid
  All decked out in silk and I took her
  Like a cat takes to milk
  Come here little Queenie or...
  Has the cat got your tongue?
  Can't let nobody see me
  Come on girl while we're still young
  'Cause there's never been no lover's knot
  Can tie you down 'cause you're so hot
  Don't pinch me ass I may be dreamin'
  Hope tonight that I'll be screamin'
    Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry
  I like it, I like it, I like it
    She looked sheik in a funky way
  Tongue in cheek baby all the way
  Home girls they got pride, she said
  'One time around' I said 'Let's go for a ride'
  Come here little Queenie... or ah
  Has the cat got your tongue?
  My best shot for a C note baby she said
  That's why this Janie's got a gun
  Because there's nothin' like a good time girl
  To take you twice around the world
  I'm so in lust I think I'm trippin'
  So in love I think I'm slippin'
    Down to the river, down to the river of love
  Where the love runs deep it's so sad it's a love you can't keep
    Down to the river, down to the river
  Abover 42nd Street it's so sad
  That the bad don't come cheap
    Because there's nothing like a good time girl
  To take you twice around the world
  Right to the land of milk and honey
  Leave your troubles, bring your money
    Black cherry, black cherry, black cherry
  I like it, I like it, I like it
