Cherry Bomb

Spoken:
This here song needs to be played and turned up loud

Sittin' on a tailgate, what do I see
A big black dog comin' after me
I run to the porch and holler for mom
She goes to the basement and she gets a cherry bomb

(Chorus)
Now throw it. Well, Charley, now throw it
If you don't throw the bomb then I won't be your mom
Now throw it.

Swimmin' in a water hole, what do I feel
Two green alligators snappin' at my heels
I swim to the dock and I holler at mom
She reaches in her pocketbook pulls out a cherry bomb

Chorus

Playin' in a junkyard, what do I see
Ten big rats gonna try and eat me
I run to the car and I holler at mom
She reaches in the glove box pulls out a cherry bomb

Chorus

Spoken:
Now this here is my favorite part of the song
Talkin' about city life, the phone company and US postal service.

Walkin' down main street, what do I dread
Two big dudes done knocked me in the head
I struggle to the phone booth and called my mom
In less than fifteen minutes she had mailed a cherry bomb

Chorus twice

If you don't throw the bomb then I won't be your mom
Now throw it.
