Body Parts
Jump Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Body parts are nice,
I can close my eyes,
And think about your lips;
They quiver to the tips of the fingers on my hand
I am a man with some secret plans I need to carry out.
You are my mission......impossible...at first
We're like cold fission...I feel an energy flow...flow..
Let it all go, close your eyes

Body parts are nice.
What makes you warm?
The sun on your skin or a summer storm?
Rain, rain, on your face, rain,
That you can taste slowly,
As it drips down your lips like a kiss from the one you love.
WHAT MAKES YOU HOT???...something that you want but you haven't got
ISN'T THAT THE WAY, JUST A GAME TO PLAY??...all day
WELL I SAY YOU CAN BRING THE ICE, THE SWEATING WILL SUFFICE
YOUR BODY PARTS ARE NICE
Do you believe in god?
Well maybe she's a fraud
But she's so cute in her birthday suit
And her go-go boots,
And when I'm not awake,
I can see her shake, every step she takes it makes me happy.
And then it's getting late
Let me call it fate that you're still around,
Lost and Found like a lunchbox
And let us break the bread,
We'll pick up to her bed,
Gimme chicken thighs, sweet potato pies
Body parts are nice.
WHAT MAKES YOU HOT???...something that you want but you haven't got
ISN'T THAT THE WAY, JUST A GAME TO PLAY??...all day
WELL I SAY YOU CAN BRING THE ICE, THE SWEATING WILL SUFFICE
YOUR BODY PARTS ARE NICE
Body parts are nice,
I can close my eyes,
And think about your lips;
They quiver to the tips of the fingers on my hand
I am a man with some secret plans I need to carry out.
You are my mission......impossible...at first
We're like cold fission...I feel an energy flow...flow..
Let it all go, close your eyes

Body parts are nice.
La, la, la, la, la, la (x5)

This is all about the thrill and excitement of thinking about someone's body parts. It's worth noting that the lyrics in this song are very repetitive, which could be viewed as monotonous, but it also could be seen as reinforcing the main message- that body parts are nice.

The theme of desire is addressed further when the lyrics ask, "What makes you hot? Something that you want but you haven't got".

Line by Line Meaning

Body parts are nice,
Physical attributes are pleasing

I can close my eyes,
Mental visualization is possible

And think about your lips;
Meditation on someone's mouth is enjoyable

They quiver to the tips of the fingers on my hand
Sensory perceptions are connected

I am a man with some secret plans I need to carry out.
I have undisclosed intentions

You are my mission......impossible...at first
Challenging but fulfilling task

We're like cold fission...I feel an energy flow...flow..
Complementary forces create vibrancy

Let it all go, close your eyes
Relax and enjoy the moment

What makes you warm?
The source of your happiness

The sun on your skin or a summer storm?
Natural phenomena that evoke emotions

Rain, rain, on your face, rain,
Water droplets falling from the sky

That you can taste slowly,
Savoring the experience

As it drips down your lips like a kiss from the one you love.
A caress with liquid essence

What makes you hot???...something that you want but you haven't got
Desire for the unattainable

ISN'T THAT THE WAY, JUST A GAME TO PLAY??...all day
It's a never-ending cycle

WELL I SAY YOU CAN BRING THE ICE, THE SWEATING WILL SUFFICE
Cooling methods are unnecessary

YOUR BODY PARTS ARE NICE
Your physical attributes are pleasing

Do you believe in god?
Do you have faith in a higher power?

Well maybe she's a fraud
Perhaps religion is a hoax

But she's so cute in her birthday suit
Nonetheless, the imagery is appealing

And her go-go boots,
And her footwear is also attractive

And when I'm not awake,
In a dreamlike state

I can see her shake, every step she takes it makes me happy.
The movements of a woman bring joy

And then it's getting late
The night is progressing

Let me call it fate that you're still around,
Serendipitous encounter

Lost and Found like a lunchbox
Things are easily misplaced and retrieved

And let us break the bread,
Let us enjoy a meal together

We'll pick up to her bed,
Our intimacy will lead to sex

Gimme chicken thighs, sweet potato pies
Comfort foods satisfy our appetites

La, la, la, la, la, la (x5)
Lyrical refrain
