Turn Out The Lights
Steel Panther Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you're big and kinda hairy
Like a monkey at the zoo
I don't care if you're a monkey
With an ass that's red and blue
Cause I'm gonna fuck you doggy-style
The way chihuahua's do
But I got one request
That I just have to ask of you

Turn out the lights
Before you suck my dick
Someone beat you with an ugly stick
I wanna fuck, but you make me sick, so
Turn out the lights, Turn out the lights

So you think that I'm a loser
Cause I used to be in Jail
And I got my GED Diploma
Last week in the mail
Well at least a man can exercise
If he gets too fat
But I got news for you
Your face will always look like that

Turn out the lights
Before I take a ride
You don't seem to have a "good side"
Whip out a condom and the astro-glide
Turn out the lights Turn out the lights
I think I'm gonna hurl
Jesus Christ I hope that you're a girl
Open your mouth, baby, here come the pearls
Turn out the lights, Turn out the lights

Tell me when it's over
Please tell me you don't have VD
Thank god that it's over, yeah

Well we all have indiscretions
I think you're my BIGGEST yet
Had to roll you in some flour
Just to find where you were wet
Well this never would've happened
If I hadn't lost that bet
I wonder if our grand-kids
Will ask us how we met

Turn out the lights
Girl it's way to bright
I don't wanna look at your cellulite
There ain't nothing on your body that's tight
Turn out the lights, Turn out the lights

Before you take off your clothes
I wanna tie you up with some garden hose
Slap your tits and rub my balls on your nose
Turn out the lights, Turn out the lights

Before we do the deed
Before I cover your box with my seed




I'm gonna pound ya 'till ya fucking start to bleed, bitch
Turn out the lights, Turn out the lights

Overall Meaning

The song "Turn Out the Lights" by Steel Panther is a satirical and explicit take on sexual encounters with someone whom the singer finds unattractive. The lyrics are filled with derogatory and offensive metaphors that compare the person to a monkey, with an "ass that's red and blue." Despite this, the singer still wants to have sex with them in a demeaning way. The chorus repeats the request to turn out the lights, which is not for the sake of intimacy but rather to avoid having to see the person's body.


The second verse adds more insults to the target, including mocking their facial features and suggesting they have a sexually transmitted disease. The singer also boasts about his own achievements, including getting his GED diploma, and criticizes the target for being unathletic. The bridge features more degrading imagery, with the singer saying he had to roll the person in flour to find where they were wet. The conclusion of the song suggests that the encounter was a mistake, brought on by a lost bet, and wonders how the future generation will react to their story.


Overall, the lyrics are intentionally controversial and offensive, and the song is meant to make the listener uncomfortable. Steel Panther is known for their humorous and explicit content, and "Turn Out the Lights" fits this mold perfectly.
