Girls On Trampolines
Ludo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They page Party Guy, he pages them back with the number where's at, they let the phone ring
‘Til Party Guy picks it up and says, “Behind Burger King”
Should they make another run? Their fake says they're 21, they're not sure they got enough, should they go buy more stuff?
He says, “Forget about the stuff, they've got more than enough, they thought of everything,” he says,

[Chorus]
“They've got more beer than he's ever seen
And they've got girls on trampolines
They tapped ten kegs since9:15
And they've got girls on trampolines”

Quoth the Party Guy, he doesn't ever lie, it sounds like their scene, but they don't have a ride
So they call Ride Guy who comes by and with a sigh he lets them in his ride (Okay!)
And Drunk Guy tells Ride Guy to shut up and just drive when he asks about the stuff and about the thing
But Nice Guy kicks Drunk Guy and tells Ride Guy that Party Guy said it's party-time behind Burger King, he says,

[Chorus]

But Nice Guy's talk of trampolines makes Drunk Guy turn green and he pukes on Jon Fee and Ride Guy's ride hits a tree
Which causes Weed Guy to drop his seeds at the feet of Officer One, Officer Two and Officer Three
And Officer One says, “Looky here, son, I hate speeding MIP's who have seeds and hit trees,”
One and two wanted to beat ‘em and kill ‘em and eat ‘em, but they deferred to Officer Three who said,

“I hear there's a shindig behind Burger King
And I hear there's girls on trampolines
The tree looks fine and the driver's clean
Just give them girls on trampolines”




God bless the wisdom of Officer Three
Just give them girls on trampolines!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ludo's song Girls On Trampolines tell the story of a group of young guys going on an adventure in search of a wild party. They call the Party Guy for the location, and he tells them it is behind a Burger King. They consider whether or not they have enough supplies and alcohol and decide to go for it. Party Guy had assured them that the party was well-stocked with everything, including plenty of beer and girls jumping on trampolines. They call the Ride Guy to give them a lift, and he agrees, but Drunk Guy starts causing trouble in the car. Nice Guy kicks him out and reminds Ride Guy that Party Guy had mentioned the trampolines. However, all the excitement causes Weed Guy to drop his stash of weed, and the car hits a tree.


The police arrive at the scene, and the guys are understandably panicked as Officer One and Officer Two seem unsympathetic. Luckily, Officer Three shows up and suggests that the guys can exchange trampoline access for leniency. As such, they are allowed to go off to the party and find themselves in a paradise of fun, with plenty of alcohol and girls on trampolines.


One interesting fact about this song is that it is considered one of Ludo's signature songs, a band founded in 2002 in their hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.

The song is in the key of G, with the chords G, C, and D. The chorus is also accompanied by a Bm chord. Other interesting facts about the song include that it was used in the fourth-season premiere of Showtime's Weeds and was featured on ESPN's Baseball Tonight. It has also inspired an internet phenomenon, with numerous videos of girls jumping on trampolines. Furthermore, Ludo's eccentric and theatrical stage performances accompany this song perfectly, with lead singer Andrew Volpe often wearing a suit and a top hat on stage.
