CHORUS TO THE SONG: CHERRY BOMB:
That's when a sport was a sport.....And groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' meant everything.....We were young and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin' with our friends.....Holdin' hands meant somethin' baby
Outside the Club "The Cherry Bomb"...Our hearts were really thumpin'
....say yeah yeah yeah......John Cougar-Mellancamp
