Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Can't stay at home, can't stay in school

Old folks say, "You poor little fool"

Down the street, I'm the girl next door

I'm the fox you've been waiting for

[Chorus]

Hello Daddy, hello Mom

I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- cherry bomb

Hello world, I'm your wild girl

I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- cherry bomb

[Verse 2]

Stone age love and strange sounds too

Come on, baby, let me get to you

Bad nights causin' teenage blues

Get down ladies, you've got nothing to lose

[Chorus]

Hello Daddy, hello Mom

I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- cherry bomb

Hello world, I'm your wild girl

I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- cherry bomb

[Chorus]

Hello Daddy, hello Mom

I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- cherry bomb

Hello world, I'm your wild girl

I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- cherry bomb

[Bridge]

Hey street boy, want some style?

Your dead end dreams don't make you smile

I'll give ya something to live for

Have you and grab ya till you're sore

[Chorus]

Hello Daddy, hello Mom

I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- cherry bomb

Hello world, I'm your wild girl

I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch- cherry bomb

[Outro]
