Leggy Blonde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Goodbye, goodbye-ee-eye
(Leggy Blonde)
Everyday I look across the office floor
There you were
Your hair down to your legs
And your legs down to the floor.
Now that you are gone I'll never see here for tech repair
Wish you knew how much I loved your legs and your hair
Leggy Blonde goodbye, goodbye
[Chorus]
(Jemaine)
Leggy, Leggy, Leggy, Leggy
(Bret)
Leggy, Leggy, Leggy, Leggy
(Jemaine)
Leggy, Leggy, Leggy, Leggy
(Bret)
Leggy, Leggy, Leggy, Leggy
(Jemaine)
Blondie, Blondie, Blondie, Blondie
(Bret)
Blondie, Blondie, Blondie, Blondie
(Jemaine)
Blondie, Blondie, Blondie, Blondie,
(Bret)
Blondie, Blondie
(Both)
Leggy Blonde, goodbye, goodbye
(Murray)
I had a Budgie, but it died...
Wo-oo-wo
I like Pie!
[Chorus]
(M)
Leggy, Leggy, Leggy, Leggy
(J)
Leggy, Leggy, Leggy, Leggy
(B)
Leggy, Leggy, Leggy, Leggy
(M)
Leggy, Leggy, Leggy, Leggy
(J)
Blondie, Blondie, Blondie, Blondie
(B)
Blondie, Blondie, Blondie, Blondie
(M)
Blondie, Blondie, Blondie, Blondie
(B)
Blondie, Blondie,
(All 3)
Leggy Blonde
*sigh*
(Murray)
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
(J)
He'll never get
(B)
He'll never get
(J)
He'll never get
(B)
He'll never get --
(Both)
To say...
(J, fast)
Hoop, Leggy Blonde, you got it goin' on
Wanna see you wearin' that thong thong thong
See you gettin' down till the break of dawn
*Mumble mumble mumble*
Panties on
(Murray)
Goodbye...
The song 'Leggy Blonde' is a comedic farewell by Murray to a female worker who was known for her long legs and flowing hair. Murray, played by Rhys Darby, reminisces about seeing her every day across the office floor and how he will miss her since she left. He mentions his love for her hair and legs but it is unclear whether he ever had a deeper connection with her other than her physical appearance. This is further highlighted by the sudden interjections of Murray about his pet budgie and love for pie.
The chorus, sung by Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, repeats her name and physical attributes - Leggy Blonde - creating an earworm which is catchy for the audience. However, the song takes a slight turn when Jemaine sings a suggestive line about wanting to see her in a thong. Murray expresses his regret at not being able to spend more time with her and hints at a desire for a physical relationship with her by stating that he wanted to tear her clothes off on the photocopier. The song ends with a simple goodbye, as though the song is meant to be a humorous lament of unfulfilled lust or just a goodbye to a colleague.
