Off The Floor
The Key of Awesome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come down here, and tell 'em I'm with you
It's a new infestation
This is a Wow Wow Wubsy
Of Bridge tunnel people
Get off the floor, drunky, lay on your side, dummy
Let me introduce you, to the skanks and douche-bags in the soul-destroying line at the club
I'm confused (confused)
And I don't really know, when I get off the train, which exit to use (to use)
Drives me insane, they all look the same, which one do I choose? (choose)
My G.P.S. is a big 'ole mess, and I ruined my shoes (shoes)
Tripped and fell on my ass, and all the children laughed, now I got a big bruise (bruise)
What the hell did I do to deserve this abuse?
Damn, ple-ple-ple-please, check the list again
I gotta go meet my friend, Dolly
If you ain't fabulous, you will be ignored
When dancing, be aware of people with sores
I think we need a clean up in aisle four
Point and laugh at the poor
They can't get in the door
Pits stink when the creeps put their drinks up
Leave your dignity and shame at the door
Squeeze your size ten butt into a size four
So many tools here, it's like a hardware store
The roofies, the guidos, dancin' like they're spastic
The stinky cheap cologne, the sexual harassment (Dali)
Piss your cash away on twenty-dollar cosmos at the club
Pick up your phone J-Lo, it's Pitbull; Llamame
Trust me when I say, you'll never bang the shot girl at the club
Not if I don't get inside I won't, Dalai
I've got such a big butt that, when I dance, it hits the floor
Yo, true dat, I can hear that badonkadonk from outside
La-la-la-la, I don't feel like writing lyrics anymore
Fa-la-la-la, la
This shit is whack, son, I'm getting pissed
I'm about to give this mother trucker my fist
I ain't askin' for permission, man, I insist
Ah, dude, you're breakin' my wrist
Ow, ow-ow, ow, that hurts
Why you gotta go and get blood on my shirt?
I ain't never been a fighter, but I am a lover
Fine, you win, I'll pay the cover
I finally got inside, now it's time to do the booty slap
(This is the last call for alcohol, y'all) Say, what?!
The night is over, it's time for me to go and take a nap
ΒΏJ-Lo? ΒΏQue paso?
I'm outside, para tres horas en la linea; Esta muy frio alla!
ΒΏPor que me tratas asi, J-Lo?
The song "Off The Floor" by The Key of Awesome is a satirical take on the superficiality and exclusivity of nightlife culture. The opening lyrics reveal the singer's frustrations with being denied entry to a club due to their name not being on "the list." They turn to J-Lo for help, as she embodies the celebrity and status that grants instant admission to such places. The chorus advises club-goers to leave their dignity and shame at the door, indicating the debauchery that awaits them once inside. The verses continue to detail the absurdity of the scene, from the confusion of the multiple exits in a subway station to people squeezing into clothes that are too small for them to fit in.
Humorous references are made to the various archetypes present in the club - the skanks, douche-bags, guidos, and shot girls. Additionally, there is a repetitive chorus that reminds listeners that if you are not "fabulous," you will be ignored, and if you are poor, you will not be allowed entry. The singer eventually gains entry to the club but encounters a fight, further accentuating the violent and aggressive nature of the scene. The song concludes with J-Lo standing outside in the cold, waiting for hours to enter the club, revealing the transient and unattainable nature of the superficial scene.

They can't get in the door
Some people just don't have what it takes to get into the club
Pits stink when the creeps put their drinks up
The club smells bad because of creepy guys spilling their drinks
Leave your dignity and shame at the door
You will have to do some embarrassing things to get into this club

Not if I don't get inside I won't, Dalai
I need to get into the club to have any chance with the shot girl
I've got such a big butt that, when I dance, it hits the floor
I have a really big butt that gets in the way when I'm dancing
Yo, true dat, I can hear that badonkadonk from outside
Your butt is so big that I can hear it moving from outside
La-la-la-la, I don't feel like writing lyrics anymore
I'm too tired to come up with any more lyrics
Fa-la-la-la, la
Let's just listen to some music instead
This shit is whack, son, I'm getting pissed
I'm starting to get angry at this club
I'm about to give this mother trucker my fist
I might actually punch someone soon
I ain't askin' for permission, man, I insist
I don't need anyone's permission to have a good time
Ah, dude, you're breakin' my wrist
Ow, that really hurts
Ow, ow-ow, ow, that hurts
Ouch, seriously, stop hurting me
Why you gotta go and get blood on my shirt?
Now you've ruined my favorite shirt, not cool bro
I ain't never been a fighter, but I am a lover
I'm not normally a violent person, I'm all about love man
Fine, you win, I'll pay the cover
I give up, I'll just pay the entrance fee
I finally got inside, now it's time to do the booty slap
I can finally start enjoying myself and dance
(This is the last call for alcohol, y'all) Say, what?!
Oh no, the night is almost over
The night is over, it's time for me to go and take a nap
This night was a disaster, time to go home and sleep it off
