Bathroom Wall
Faster Pussycat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw your number written on the wall
Said for a good time call, call 281-7668
Hey baby I can't wait
I got your number off the bathroom wall

Pick up the phone and I start to think
I get excited when it starts to ring
I want you to go or stay, if it's good I'll call her everyday
I got your number off the bathroom wall

Got your number off the bathroom wall
And I decided it was about time I made the call

You answered the phone in a sexy voice
I got excited and I had no choice
To put another dime in the telephone, 'cause my number's alone at home
I got your number off the bathroom wall

Got your number off the bathroom wall
And I decided it was about time I made the call

Saw your number written on the wall
Said baby for a good time call, call 281-7668
Hey baby I can't wait
I got your number off the bathroom wall

Got your number off the bathroom wall
And I decided it was about time I made the call

Got your number off the bathroom wall
Boy Am I lucky that I didn't use the other stall

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Faster Pussycat's song "Bathroom Wall" tell the story of someone who sees a phone number written on a bathroom wall and decides to call it for a "good time." The lyricist is excited to make the call and is even more pleased when the person on the other end of the line answers in a sexy voice. The singer continues to call the number, and is happy to have gotten the number off the bathroom wall, but also realizes that he's lucky he didn't use the other stall.


The lyrics in this song touch upon the idea of taking risks and seizing opportunities. The singer sees the number on the wall and decides to call it, even though he's not sure what the outcome will be. The line "if it's good I'll call her every day" suggests that there's potential for a positive outcome, but the singer is also aware that it could go either way. The use of the bathroom stall as a setting also adds a layer of grittiness and danger to the situation.
