The Four Seasons: “Sherry”

by Kaye Bassett Millar

Published September 12, 2016

The Four Seasons - Sherry

Sherry-Music2

The Four Seasons’ “Sherry”, was originally called “Terry.” The group loved it and performed it over the telephone for their producer, Bob Crewe, who liked everything about it but the name. After considering “Jackie” (after Jackie Kennedy), and “Peri” (after a record label Crewe had a stake in), the group changed the name of the song to “Sherry,” after Cheri Spector, the daughter of one of Crewe’s best friends, a DJ named Jack Spector.

Bob Gaudio, who was the organist/singer with The Four Seasons, wrote this song and quickly became the group’s primary songwriter. Previously a member of The Royal Teens (Short Shorts), he formed The Four Seasons with Frankie Valli the previous year. According to Gaudio, this song came to him very quickly, and he wrote it in less than 15 minutes. He says it took the group longer to decide upon a name for the song than it took him to write it.

Lyrics for The Four Seasons’ “Sherry”

Sherry, Sherry baby
Sherry, Sherry baby

Baby (sherry baby) baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight?
(Come, come, come out tonight)
Sherry baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight?

Come out to my twist party
(Come out) Where the bright lights shine
(Come out) We’ll dance the night away
I’m gonna make you mine

Sherry baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight
(Come come, come out tonight)
(Come come, come out tonight)
You’d better ask your mama (Sherry baby)
Tell her everything is alright

With your red dress on
(Come out) Mmm. you look so fine
(Ccome out) Move it nice and easy
Girl, you make me lose my mind

Sherry baby (sherry baby) baby (Sherry baby)
Sherry can you come out tonight?
(Come, come, come out tonight)
(Come, come, come out tonight)

Sherry, Sherry baby
(Come, come, come out tonight)
Sherry, Sherry baby
(Come, come, come out tonight)
Sherry
