Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And others like drivin' trucks and wearing tattoos
There's only one thing that they all like a bunch
Oh, girls, they want to have lunch
Oh, girls just want to have lunch
I know how to keep a woman satisfied
When I whip out my Diner's Card their eyes get so wide
Oh, girls, they want to have lunch
Oh, girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some lunch
Don't ask 'em to dinner or breakfast or brunch
'Cause girls, they want to have lunch
Oh, girls just want to have lunch
Girls, they want
Want to have lunch
Girls want to have
She eats like she got a hole in her neck
And I'm the one that always gets stuck with the check
Can't figure out how come they don't weigh a ton
Oh, girls, they want to have lunch
Oh, girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Is some lunch
Don't know for certain but I've got a hunch
Those girls, they want to have lunch
Oh, girls just want to have lunch
Girls, they want
Want to have lunch
Girls want to have
They just want to
They just want to
Girls
They just want to
They just want to
Girls just want to have lunch
Girls
Girls just want to have lunch
They just want to
They just want to
They just want to
They just want to
They just want to
They just want to
In "Weird Al" Yankovic's song Girls Just Want To Have Lunch, he humorously explores the stereotype that all women want to do is have lunch. The lyrics begin with a nod to the idea that women have a wide range of interests but ultimately come to the conclusion that they all share a love of lunch. Al then boasts about keeping women satisfied by "whipping out" his Diner's Card, implying that he can buy their affection with food. He notes that women are always in the mood for something to eat and implies that they'll always choose lunch over breakfast, dinner or brunch.
The chorus repeats the phrase that's at the heart of the song, "Girls just want to have lunch." He suggests that they'll always choose lunch over other meals and that they simply want a good, satisfying meal to carry them through the day. In the second verse, Al describes the eating habits of some of his female companions, suggesting they eat a lot and leave him with the bill. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and an affirmation that all girls really want is to have lunch.
Overall, Girls Just Want To Have Lunch is a lighthearted, tongue in cheek song that pokes fun at the idea that all women are focused on food. Al adds humor to the song by highlighting some of the absurdities in the idea and exaggerating certain stereotypes. Ultimately, the song is a comical take on a common trope and is meant to make listeners laugh.

@Logan Gilbert You couldn't do this parody these days. So offensive
Just the Facts
@float & sting How? And has the song been cancelled yet? I'm so sick of these stupid comments so you can play a victim of some SJW bogeyman. We need to stop making victimhood a trend.
