About Sherry Fraser

"Sherry Fraser" is the name of the third single by alternative rock/post-grunge band Marcy Playground. Although nowhere near as successful as the band's earlier smash hit "Sex and Candy," nor the minor hit "St. Joe on the Schoolbus," the song did receive moderate radio and MTV2 airplay in 1998. The track is named for a friend of the band, who is credited on the band's eponymous debut album as S. Fraser, the co-writer of the track "Ancient Walls of Flowers". Sherry Fraser, the namesake of the song, is the founder of the band Two Ton Boa.

Oh I saw stars falling all 
Around her head 
Red  gold  and blue 
Sherry Fraser where are you 
'Cause I saw stars falling 
All around your head

We're all wondering 
When will you come back 
And play some day.

The mad hatter he waits for Alice 
To come to tea again 
He waits forever for his old lover 
And always wonderin'

And play some day 
Please do come back 
And play some day
