  • Can't stay at home, can't stay in school
    Old folks say, "You poor little fool"
    Down the streets I'm the girl next door
    I'm the fox you've been waiting for

    Hello, daddy, hello, mom
    I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
    Hello world I'm your wild girl
    I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

    Stone Age love and strange sounds too
    Come on, baby, let me get to you
    Bad nights causing teenage blues
    Get down ladies, you've got nothin' to lose

    Hello, daddy, hello, mom
    I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
    Hello world I'm your wild girl
    I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

    Hello, daddy, hello, mom
    I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
    Hello world I'm your wild girl
    I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

    Hey, street boy, want some style?
    Your dead end dreams don't make you smile
    I'll give you something to live for
    Have you and grab you until you're sore

    Hello, daddy, hello, mom
    I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
    Hello world I'm your wild girl
    I'm your ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
    Cherry bomb
    Cherry bomb
    Cherry bomb
    Cherry bomb
