The Stripper
Lords of Acid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a stripper
Unzip your zipper
Look at me baby
I'll drive you crazy ...
(come on, give it to me baby...)

Desire in your eyes
Your blood is on fire
I'm here to tease you
Ready to please you


My skin is burning
My body's yearning
'Cause I'm a stripper
Unzip your zipper





(give it to me baby, come on!...)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to β€œStripper” by Lords of Acid are self-explanatory; the singer is a stripper and is inviting the listener to indulge in their desires by unzipping their zipper. The lyrics aim to create an erotic, voyeuristic atmosphere where the singer is in full control of the situation, and the listener is helpless against their primal urges. The opening lines β€œI am a stripper, unzip your zipper” set the tone for the rest of the song, and the lyrics that follow only intensify the sexual tension.


The second verse of the song refers to the desire in the listener's eyes, their blood on fire, and the singer's willingness to tease and please them. The repetition of the words β€œgive it to me baby” throughout the song serves to heighten the eroticism, tension, and urgency of the moment. The final two lines of the song are the singer's declaration of who they are, that they are a stripper and that the listener should unzip their zipper.


The song's lyrics were written by Maurice Engelen, aka Praga Khan, who is a founding member of the electronic dance and industrial music group Lords of Acid. The song was released in 1991 on their album Lust, along with popular songs like β€œRough Sex” and β€œI Must Increase My Bust”. The group has developed a cult following thanks to their provocative and sexually charged lyrics and performances.

This used to be a free-for-all song in a nearby club. They'd let everyone get onstage with the dancers and go wild. Give me a time machine and get me out of the now.

I loved this when in college and danced my ass off!!!

This was one of the big tunes on the Belgian New Beat scene at the end of the 80's. Very sexy, very sleazy. They don't make them like this anymore.
