Copenhagen
Jeff Foxworthy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I went out last friday night with lil Mary Anne
She said please stay til mornin and she grabbed me by the can
She layed a big one on me, woo, suprised me with her tongue
But her suprise was waitin there between my cheek and gum

(Copenhagen!)
Not a woman getter
(Copenhagen!)
You can see it in my smile
(Copenhagen!)
I admit that I'm a spitter
(Copenhagen!)
It'll drive your woman wild

So I went to the movies with my lil Peggy Sue
I had my dip there in my lip just like I always do
She didn't see me spittin in my Coca-Cola cup
She took a big ol swaller and gave that popcorn up!

(Copenhagen!)
It makes my dentist quesy
(Copenhagen!)
You can see it in my smile
(Copenhagen!)
Hey hey quittin's not that easy
(Copenhagen!)
It'll drive your woman wild

The moral of the story is kinda sad but true
But if you stay til breakfast they'll wanna marry you
So if she's comin on too strong don't worry and don't pout
Just dip some Copenhagen if you wanna snuff her out

(Copenhagen!)
It's not a fever blister
(Copenhagen!)
You can see it in my smile
(Copenhagen!)
Haha I learned it from my sister
(Copenhagen!)
It will drive your woman wild




(Copenhagen!)
It will drive your woman wild and wild and wild!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jeff Foxworthy's song Copenhagen are filled with humor and the country singer's signature Southern charm. The song tells a story of two separate incidents where Jeff Foxworthy is out with two different women, Mary Anne and Peggy Sue. While with Mary Anne, she surprises him with a kiss that leaves him with a pouch of Copenhagen between his cheek and gum. The song references the brand of smokeless tobacco, Copenhagen, which is popular in the South. Foxworthy then goes on to be with Peggy Sue at the movies and spits his dip into his Coca-Cola cup. Peggy Sue accidentally takes a swig of it, causing her to spit out her popcorn. The moral of the story, as Foxworthy puts it, "if she's comin' on too strong don't worry and don't pout, just dip some Copenhagen if you wanna snuff her out."


The use of Copenhagen as a metaphor for dealing with unwanted advances is unique and goes with the Southern culture. Foxworthy's humor and playfulness in the song make what is essentially a song about dipping tobacco something that is entertaining and memorable.
