Swing
Miss May I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh shit, shake that ass ma, move it like a gypsy
Stop, whoa, back it up, now let me see your hips swing [x2]

Now drop it low (and let me see your hips swing)
Down to the floor (now let me see your hips swing) [x2]

Uh oh, lean back, girl you got some mean racks
You got a mean ass and I really mean that
But can't you see, that I need a girl, that can move
Make her hips swing and look just like you
But come to think about it, I think this club is crowded
It's kinda hard to do your thing when everyone's surrounding
So let me form a circle
Everybody step back
I heard somebody yell, "Where's the fuckin' party at?"

Oh shit, shake that ass ma, move it like a gypsy
Stop, whoa, back it up, now let me see your hips swing [x2]

Now drop it low (and let me see your hips swing)
Down to the floor (now let me see your hips swing) [x2]

Uh oh, let it pop, ladies, drop it like it's hot
Hell yeah, that's the spot, now bring it back to the top
Stop, whoa, now back it up, now back it up
Let it rise then watch it dump, shaking your junk in the trunk
And I like the way you move it smoothly
Now why don't you move that booty to me
I'm trying come up with some thoughts of attack,
Until I heard somebody yellin' out,
"Where's the fuckin' party at?"

Oh shit, shake that ass ma, move it like a gypsy
Stop, whoa, back it up, now let me see your hips swing [x2]

Now drop it low (and let me see your hips swing)
Down to the floor (now let me see your hips swing) [x2]

Knees bent, ass out, come on push your ass out
Bring it up then back down, bring it up then back down
All my ladies on the floor, all my ladies on the floor
Pick it up then dip it low, pick it up then dip it low

Oh shit, shake that ass ma, move it like a gypsy
Stop, whoa, back it up, now let me see your hips swing [x2]





Now drop it low (and let me see your hips swing)
Down to the floor (now let me see your hips swing) [x2]

Overall Meaning

The song "Swing" by Miss May I is a sexually charged dance anthem that encourages women to move their hips in a provocative manner. The lyrics describe the desire for a girl who can move her body like a "gypsy" and make her hips "swing." The song opens with the instruction to "shake that ass ma" followed by a repeated request to "let me see your hips swing." The singer expresses a clear preference for girls with curves and big butts, admiring their "mean racks" and "mean ass."


Despite the song's objectification of women, it is undeniable that "Swing" is a catchy and energetic dance tune. The beat is fast-paced and will get a crowd moving. The bridge of the song prompts the ladies to "let it pop" and "drop it like it's hot," encouraging them to fully let loose on the dance floor. The final verse suggests that all ladies in attendance should be a part of the action, instructing everyone to "bring it up then back down" and "pick it up then dip it low."


Overall, the song is a perfect addition to any party playlist, but its lyrics should be taken with a grain of salt. It is important to remember that both men and women are more than their physical attributes.
