Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cherry Red (from The Groundhogs)
I got this quickly, but it's all I can hear.
If you're prepare to bluff the song live by making something up or singing nonsense in one section, there's enough to perform it.
Remember, the song has a bit that no-one can understand there! ;-)
Be true to the record! Play what YOU hear! It worked for me for 13 years! Very few people will EVER question you and if you get real lucky, someone who knows the proper words will take delight in correcting you, so problem of lyrics then 100% solved!. 8-D

All night long, I loved her
Morning came to soon,
I knew she'd be gone by the afternoon.
I said "Please don't go!"
Still she said goodbye
But as she turned around she had a glad look in her eye.
But as she turned around she had a glad look in her eye.
But as she turned around she had a glad look in her eye.

And I thought it said

When you *learn how to see me       alternative - yearn now ?   
You turn right in your bed      
The warmth of my body will heat you
Make your blood run cherry red,
Cherry red, cherry red.

All next day I waited for a time      
But she didn't show
Until I turned to the dark of night
I said "Please come soon!"
Still there was no sign
But as the ????? to the lie
as the ????? to the lie, as the ????? to the lie.

????? SOUNDS like "dalek-tarmengrew "
I'd find words that sound like that, fit the rhythm and context and make at least partial sense. Then bluff! I'd perform it without any further hesitation, right or not.

Good luck!
