Girls Got Rhythm
AC/DC (Australien) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been around the world
I've seen a million girls
Ain't one of them got
What my lady she's got

She's stealin' the spotlight
Knocks me off my feet
She's enough to start a landslide
Just a walkin' down the street

Wearing dresses so tight
And looking dynamite
Enough to blow me out
No doubt about it can't live without it

The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm

She's like a lethal brand
Too much for any man
She gives me first degree
She really satisfies me

Love me till I'm legless
Aching and sore
Enough to stop a freight train
Or start the Third World War

You know I'm losin' sleep
I'm in too deep
Like a body needs blood
No doubt about it, can't live without it

The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm

You know she moves like sin
And when she lets me in
It's like liquid love
No doubt about it, can't live without it

The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm (girl's got rhythm)

You know she really got the rhythm (girl's got rhythm)
She's got the backseat rhythm (backseat rhythm)




Rock 'n' roll rhythm (rock n roll rhythm)
The girl's got rhythm

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to AC/DC's "Girls Got Rhythm" exude the band's signature attitude towards women and rock n' roll. The singer describes his lady as a force to be reckoned with, stealing the spotlight and knocking him off his feet with her tight dresses and dynamite looks. The girl's got rhythm, a backseat rhythm, and a rock n' roll rhythm that can leave any man legless and aching. But the singer can't live without her, and describes her love as satisfying and like "liquid love."


The lyrics are fairly straightforward - the girl in question is a knockout, and the singer can't resist her. However, the song's musical elements also reinforce this idea. The driving beat and simple, repetitive melody are classic AC/DC, meant to make listeners move and headbang. The chorus is anthemic and catchy, with the repetition of "the girl's got rhythm" reinforcing the importance of the woman in the singer's life. Overall, "Girls Got Rhythm" is a classic rock song about a classic rock trope - the seductive, powerful woman who can leave any man weak in the knees.

Probably my favorite AC/DC song! This one kicks ass!! Loved it way back as a young lad and still do!

It's my dad's favourite

@WarriorBoy

It's not one of the ones you hear repeated over and over on the radio, which I think is part of the reason why I like it, but it's definitely underrated overall, a true banger.

Angus in school uniform doing his one legged scoot across the stage is one of the most rock and roll things of all time.

@FarmersAreDummies

Chuck Berry inspired him to do that. Killer as it gets.

@edwardmunoz7853

He's still doing it in 2023 not as fast but still doing it 🤘
