Girl
Sammy J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, I'm gonna take you out tonight
For dinner and a movie
Then to a bar
Then to my car, and drive you home
Girl, I'm gonna see you move tonight
'Cos your body's so sexy
Wanna kiss you
(Kiss you all over)
Wanna make you mine

But once we're back at my place
We've gotta keep our voices down
'Cos my baby's in the front room
He's twelve months old, can I show you a photo?
He's my baby, but you're my baby tonight

Girl, I'm gonna slowly take your dress off
I have to do it slowly
Otherwise the zip will wake my wife up
And she's got an early start
Girl, now I've got a semi-attached unit out the back
Let's go there - let's go there - u-huh, yeah
And get nude and do nude stuff together

Have you taken your pill?
I mean Panadol, you don't want to get a headache
'Cos you've had some alcohol tonight
And I'm not judging you
But it's probably best to drink in moderation

Girl
Girl, you owe me twenty dollars
From the dinner that we had
Yeah, just because I paid when you went to the toilet
Doesn't mean we're not splitting this two ways
I've got a mortgage and renovation planned
I guess you wouldn't understand
'Cos you're just young and free
And you don't have a family
And you've never had to worry about interest rates
Or grocery prices, or Medicare rebates
Or what night's bin night
Or prudent domestic financial management, no!

Girl, I'm gonna make you sweat tonight
'Cos the air con's broken
Oh shit, now the baby's woken
It's probably best if you go home
Girl, but before you go
There's something I must know
Can I feel your boob?

(Sorry, I'm a married man, that was way out of line, so sorry.)

Girl




Can I have the receipt for your movie ticket?
I can claim it on tax

Overall Meaning

The song "Girl" by Sammy J is a satirical take on the behavior of certain men who prioritize their own desires over the well-being of others, including their own family. The lyrics describe the singer taking the girl out on a date, but throughout the night he reveals that he is married with a baby living in the front room. He takes her to his semi-attached unit in the back, asks if she's taken her pill, tries to feel her boob, and then asks for the receipt for her movie ticket. The song pokes fun at how some men try to balance their own needs and desires with those of their family, often ignoring their responsibilities in the process.


Throughout the song, the tone is humorous and ironic, with the singer's voice sounding at once sincere and knowingly ironic. He presents himself as caring for the girl, yet his actions reveal a lack of concern for anyone but himself. The lyrics touch on many common themes in society, such as men who cheat on their partners, men who prioritize their own pleasure, and the challenges of balancing personal desires with family responsibilities.


Interestingly, Sammy J is known for his comedic music and use of satire in his lyrics. He is an Australian comedian who is well known for his musical comedy performances. The song "Girl" was released on his 2019 album "Symphony in J Minor," which was nominated for Best Comedy Album at the 2020 ARIA Awards.
