Come on Cherry Cherry you're still very young And we've only just started having fun I'm picking fruit and I choose you, you're so cool No need to save yourself for someone else to come So we went completely wild Kicked over a city street light Saint Thomas was vandalized And I'm sorry but I'm not surprised Pick up the phone, pick up the phone Congratulations, I'm having visions of us Breaking everything on our way out of town We're going places you never dreamed of Oh Cherry Cherry I'll read your fortune It says here you're too serious and such But I learned one thing Cherry you should understand That nothing really matters very much So we went completely wild We were married in the Vegas style And our families were scandalized And I'm sorry but I'm not surprised Pick up the phone, pick up the phone Congratulations, I'm having visions of us Breaking everything on our way out of town We're going places you never dreamed of Yeah we started the fire, it's out of control Painted the town til it was up in smoke So tie a ribbon round it, let the fighters drown it And we'll go down in the books Yeah we started the fire and it's burning up Everywhere around us, take a photograph If they ever found us, they'd have us surrounded So pick up You know you gotta pick it up Cherry pick it up Pick it up Pick up the phone, pick up the phone Congratulations, I'm having visions of us Breaking everything on our way out of town We're going places you never dreamed of
