Au Pair Girls
The Wiseguys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"What big teeth you have"
"All the better to eat you with"
And with that, he jumped out of the bed
"How's everything, why don't you come on in?"
"Oui", "Oh, well what's your specialty?"
"[Foreign content]", "Oh, beautiful"
And it was then that she began
Singing the song
Quite exceptional
He's still going very strong
Oui
It's true that he may have been
A somewhat less than desirable character
But then, aren't we all?
The Wiseguys's song Au Pair Girls starts with a reference to the famous tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The lyrics describe Little Red Riding Hood trembling as she realizes that the wolf in bed with her has big teeth that he could use to eat her. Then, the song switches to a conversation between two people, with one asking the other what their specialty is, to which they respond with foreign content that is described as beautiful. The singer then starts to sing a song that is quite exceptional, and the lyrics suggest that whoever they are singing about is still going strong.
However, the lyrics take a surprising turn when the singer admits that the person they are singing about may not be a desirable character, but then when it comes down to it, aren't we all? This last line of the song seems to suggest that the singer is embracing the idea that all humans have flaws and imperfections, which is a refreshing take on the subject.
