Underwear
Royal Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
New boss, Mr Moore, he's a real snob
High heels, long legs, tight skirt, great skin
Inducing thoughts of sin
Involuntary action
His primitive satisfaction
Gets down, lays down, she goes:
"Tell me Mr Moore, what are doing on the floor?"
I can see your underwear from down here
I can see your underwear from down here
I'm not even gonna lie
Baby this I can't deny
I can see your underwear, from down here!
Mr. Moore feels bad when the day ends
Ask her out, not a date, just to make amends
Apology accepted, fancy dinner, fancy place
The waiter Mr. Gable
Sneaks in under the table
To find he's not alone
"Tell me Mr Moore, why everyone is on the floor?"
[Repeat: x2]
We can see your underwear from down here
We can see your underwear from down here
We're not even gonna lie
Baby this we're can't deny
I can see your underwear from down here
I can see your underwear from down here
I'm not even gonna lie
Baby this I can't deny
We can see your underwear from down here
We can see your underwear from down here
We're not even gonna lie
Baby this we're can't DENY!
I can see your underwear!
The song Underwear by Royal Republic is an upbeat and playful take on a workplace romance that explores the thoughts and actions of the singer, Mr. Moore, and his interactions with a new, attractive colleague. The first verse introduces the new girl at the office, complete with a description of her physical features: high heels, long legs, a tight skirt, and great skin. Mr. Moore is immediately attracted to her, but she rebuffs his advances. However, during a work-related incident where Mr. Moore finds himself on the floor, he catches a glimpse of her underwear and succumbs to his "primitive satisfaction."
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I can see your underwear from down here" four times, emphasizing the voyeuristic nature of Mr. Moore's actions. In the second verse, Mr. Moore asks the new girl out to make amends, but their dinner is interrupted when the waiter, Mr. Gable, also discovers that he can see the new girl's underwear from under the table. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus but with the addition of "We can see your underwear from down here," indicating that Mr. Moore is not alone in his objectification of the new girl.
Overall, the song speaks to themes of workplace harassment, objectification, and voyeurism, but presents them in a lighthearted and comical manner. While the singer's actions are not presented as admirable, the upbeat tempo and catchy chorus maintain an air of humor and playfulness throughout the song.
