Leggy Blonde
Flight of the Conchords feat. Rhys Darby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyday I look across the office floor
There you were, your hair down to your legs
And your legs down to the floor
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
Now that you are gone
I'll never see you here for tech repair
Your legs and your hair
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie
Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye
I had a budgie but it died
Woah-oh, I like pie
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy
Whoa, blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie
Blondie, blondie
Leggy blonde
I'll never get, I'll never get to be with you
I'll never get to share another cup of tea with you
I'll never get to let you know how much I think of you
I'll never get to tear your clothes off on the photo copier
He'll never get
He'll never get
He'll never get
He'll never get to say
Oh leggy blonde, you got it going on
Wanna see you wearing that thong, thong, thong
See you get it on till the break of dawn
[Incomprehensible] panties on
Goodbye
The Flight of the Conchords’ song “Leggy Blonde” is a satirical ballad about an office worker who is infatuated with a woman in the office that he calls “Leggy Blonde.” He is obsessed with her long legs and golden hair, and can’t help but admire her from afar. The playful lyrics are sung in a melancholic tone, conveying the singer's sorrow as Leggy Blonde is leaving the workplace for good. He laments about not being able to get to know her better and wishing he could have had a chance to get intimate with her. The chorus of the song features repetitive but catchy lines that only reinforce the singer's longing: “Leggy, leggy, leggy, leggy / Blondie, blondie, blondie, blondie / Leggy blonde, goodbye, goodbye.”
The absurdity of the song lies in the way the singer's infatuation with Leggy Blonde is juxtaposed with random non-sequiturs, like the mention of his dead budgie or his love for pie. The humor is in the way the lyrics jump from romantic desperation to total nonsense, which is a signature comedic style of Flight of the Conchords. It mocks the cliché of pop songs that obsess over physical attractiveness, and how silly it is to be infatuated with someone just for their physical appearance.
Line by Line Meaning
Goodbye, goodbye, leggy blonde
Farewell to the attractive, well-proportioned woman with blonde hair and long, shapely legs
Everyday I look across the office floor
There you were, your hair down to your legs
And your legs down to the floor
I used to see you every day at the workplace, where you stood out because of your long hair that reached down to your legs, and your legs that touched the floor
Now that you are gone
I'll never see you here for tech repair
Wish you knew how much I loved
Your legs and your hair
Now that you're gone, I won't see you coming here to fix the tech issues anymore. I wish you knew that I had a crush on you, especially because of your lovely hair and beautiful legs
I had a budgie but it died
Woah-oh, I like pie
I used to have a small parakeet as a pet, but it passed away. Oh well, I do enjoy eating pie
I'll never get, I'll never get to be with you
I'll never get to share another cup of tea with you
I'll never get to let you know how much I think of you
I'll never get to tear your clothes off on the photocopier
I'll never have the chance to be romantically involved with you or spend time together with you. I'll never get to confess my feelings for you, or engage in some passionate lovemaking on the photocopier
Oh leggy blonde, you got it going on
Wanna see you wearing that thong, thong, thong
See you get it on till the break of dawn
[Incomprehensible] panties on
Goodbye
Oh, you're such an attractive woman and you know it. I'd love to see you wearing a revealing thong, and get intimate with you all night long. But now it's time for me to say farewell
