A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the western hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name.
In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two or more last names (or surnames) may be used. In China, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Madagascar, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of India, the family name is placed before a person's given name.
The style of having both a family name (surname) and a given name (forename) is far from universal. In many countries, it is common for ordinary people to have only one name or mononym.
The concept of a "surname" is a relatively recent historical development, evolving from a medieval naming practice called a "byname". Based on an individual's occupation or area of residence, a byname would be used in situations where more than one person had the same name.
Can't stay at home, can't stay at school
Old folks say, ya poor little fool
Down the street, I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for
Hello daddy, hello mom
I'm your c-c-cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your c-c-cherry bomb
Stone age love and strange sounds too
Come on baby, let me get to you
Bad nights cause'n teenage blues
Get down ladies you've got nothing to lose
Hello daddy, hello mom
I'm your c-c-cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your c-c-cherry bomb
Hello daddy, hello mom
I'm your c-c-cherry bomb
Hello world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your c-c-cherry bomb
Hey street boy what's your style
Your dead end dreams don't make you smile
I'll give ya something to live for
Have ya, grab ya 'til your sore
Hello daddy, hello mom

Hello world, I'm your wild girl
I'm your c-c-cherry bomb
Cherry bomb, cherry bomb
Cherry bomb, cherry bomb
