Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Work it like a treat
What is this instance before me
It's shaking in a mirror gleam
Come on, evil twin
You got me jumping out my skin
Excuse me, where's my manners?
Please allow my introduction
'Cause I am gonna get you hit
I am gonna get you hit
Reach out and touch me
'Cause I got to
I got to go
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
Work it like a treat
Everybody!
Work it like a treat
Everybody!
Work it like a treat
Everybody!
I work it
I'm stook here naked with a junkie sinking marguretas
I swear, I don't remember anything
Well, where we left off
Seperated deep in Leicester
How could you ditch me in the state I'm in?
And if you want to witness what goes on behind the curtain
He is just as cracked as you
So be careful if you do
Reach out and touch me
'Cause I got to
I got to go
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
Work it like a treat
Everybody!
Work it like a treat
Everybody!
Work it like a treat
Everybody!
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I said now
Everybody knows I work it
Work it like a treat
I work it
I work it
I work it
The song "Treat" by Kasabian focuses on the singer's confidence and ability, claiming that he "works it like a treat." He seems to be performing for someone or a group of people, as he repeats the phrase "everybody knows I work it" several times throughout the song. In the chorus, he encourages listeners to join him in working it like a treat. The lyrics also reference an "evil twin" and a scene with a junkie and margaritas, suggesting perhaps a wild, party-filled lifestyle that the singer leads.
The verse that begins with "I'm stuck here naked with a junkie sinking margueritas" adds some storyline to the song. The singer is apparently in a rough situation and feeling abandoned by someone, perhaps the "evil twin" he references earlier. He pleads with them to "be careful" if they try to witness his wild lifestyle.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a bit of a rebellion, living outside the norm and owning one's unique identity. The repeated phrase "work it like a treat" underscores the importance of being confident and comfortable in one's own skin.

Everybody knows I work it
I am very good at what I do and everyone recognizes it
Work it like a treat
I work effortlessly and make it look easy
What is this instance before me
I am not sure what I am seeing
It's shaking in a mirror gleam
My reflection is not stable and it's reflecting light
Come on, evil twin
I am challenging the negative side of myself
You got me jumping out my skin
I am very excited and can't contain myself
Excuse me, where's my manners?
I am trying to be polite
Please allow my introduction
I am trying to introduce myself properly
'Cause I am gonna get you hit
I am going to make something happen and it will be successful
Reach out and touch me
Get close to me and feel my energy
'Cause I got to
I must do what I have to do
I'm stook here naked with a junkie sinking marguretas
I am in a vulnerable position with someone who is not trustworthy
I swear, I don't remember anything
I cannot recall anything from my past
Well, where we left off
Let's continue from where we stopped before
Seperated deep in Leicester
We were separated and it was difficult to find each other
How could you ditch me in the state I'm in?
I feel abandoned and betrayed
And if you want to witness what goes on behind the curtain
If you want to see what happens in private
He is just as cracked as you
That person is also damaged and unstable like myself
So be careful if you do
Be cautious if you decide to witness what happens behind closed doors
I work it
I am very skilled and knowledgeable in what I do

Easily one of the best nights of my life...despite getting drenched in beer, having to wander around Leicester looking for a taxi service until 3am & getting back to my accommodation to find a bunch of my shit had been stolen - worth it, Kasabian blew me away that night.
