## Sherry – A Timeless Pop Classic
**The Four Seasons – 1962**
In the early 1960s, a young quartet from New Jersey, known as The Four Seasons, burst onto the music scene with a sound that was both familiar and utterly fresh. Their music, a blend of doo-wop, R&B, and pop, captured the hearts of millions and cemented their place in music history. One of their most enduring hits, “Sherry,” remains a testament to their enduring appeal.
Released in 1962, “Sherry” is a classic tale of young love, longing, and anticipation.

The opening lines, “Sherry baby, can you hear me callin’?,” immediately draw the listener in, setting the stage for a heartfelt ballad.

Lyrics
Sherry, Sherry baby
Sherry, Sherry baby
Sherry baby (Sherry baby, Sherry baby)
Sherry, can you come out tonight? (come come, come out tonight)
Sherry baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry, can you come out tonight?
to my twist party
(Come out) where the bright moon shines
(Come out) we’ll dance the night away
I’m gonna make you mine
Sherry baby (Sherry baby, Sherry baby)
Sherry, can you come out tonight?
(Come come, come out tonight)
(Come come, come out tonight)
You better ask your mama (Sherry baby)
Tell her everything is all right
with your red dress on
(Come out) Hmm, you look so fine
(Come out) Move it nice and easy
Girl, you’ll make me lose my mind
Sherry baby (Sherry baby, Sherry baby)
Sherry, can you come out tonight?
(Come come, come out tonight)
(Come come, come out tonight)
Sherry, Sherry baby
