Take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine
I say you look so fine
And I really wanna make you mine
Now you don't need that money
When you look like that, do ya, honey?
Big black boots
Long brown hair
She's so sweet
With her get-back stare
Well I could take you home with me
But you were with another man, yeah
I know we ain't got much to say
Before I let you get away, yeah
I said, are you gonna be my girl?
Well, so one-two-three, take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine
That I really wanna make you mine
I say you look so fine

Oh, four-five-six, c'mon and get your kicks

The lyrics of "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" by Richard Cheese Lounge Against The Machine are a playful and flirtatious invitation for a woman to join the singer on a night out. The song starts with a count-in, "one-two-three" which sets the tone for the upbeat rhythm and energy of the song. The lyrics describe the singer's attraction to a woman with "big black boots, long brown hair" who he thinks is "so sweet". He invites her to come with him because she looks so fine that he really wants to make her his, but she is already with another man. Despite this, the singer still hopes to convince her to be his girl, and asks her again at the end of the song.
The verses of the song are supported by a driving guitar riff that adds to the sense of excitement and urgency in the lyrics. The chorus is catchy and repetitive, with the repeated phrase "are you gonna be my girl?" serving as a playful and flirtatious come-on. The song plays with traditional gender roles in that the male singer is the one doing the pursuing, but there is a sense of mutual desire and attraction between the singer and the woman he is pursuing.

I heard a rumor that Frank Sinatra was inspired to take up music after hearing Richard Cheese perform this at a late night lounge bar in the 20’s. Can anybody confirm?
