Señorita
Trick Pony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got to say there's something on my mind.
I've liked the way you been for a long, long time.
You've got your mind set up on what you're gonna do.
(What you're gonna do.)
Your Mamma didn't make no fool.
You got it going on.
Hey, hey, hey.
You're my little Senorita,
You got it going on.
Hey, hey, hey.
Listen up now...
My Mamma warned me 'bout a girl like you.
She said: " A girl like that's gonna break your heart in two."
"With sexy legs an' hair, an ordinary one."
Stop right there, Mamma, 'cause you know that's what I want.
You're my little Senorita,
You got it going on.
Hey, hey, hey.
You're my little Senorita,
You got it going on.
Hey, hey, hey.
You're my little Senorita,
You got it going on.
Hey, hey, hey.
You're my little Senorita,
You got it going on.
Hey, hey.
My little Senorita,
You got it going on.
Now George, I got one more question for you.
What do you think about country music today?
Oh, ho, ho, ha, ha.
C'mon, give it to me!
I love Trick Pony.
All right, that's what I wanna hear.
In Trick Pony's song "Senorita," the singer is expressing his feelings towards someone he has been interested in for a long time. Despite warnings from his mother about how she may be bad news, the singer says that he wants her and is drawn to her. He refers to her as his "little Senorita" and says that she has "got it going on." The lyrics are catchy and upbeat, with a Latin flair to the music, making it a fun and flirty song.
One interesting aspect of the lyrics is how the singer initially acknowledges that the object of his affection has her mind set on what she wants to do, which suggests that he admires her independence and determination. However, he then goes on to objectify her by repeatedly referring to her as his "little Senorita" and focusing on her physical attributes rather than her personality or character.
Another notable aspect of the song is the inclusion of dialogue at the end. The final lines, where the singer asks George what he thinks about country music today, add a playful and humorous touch to the song, suggesting that Trick Pony is a group that doesn't take themselves too seriously.
Overall, "Senorita" is a fun and catchy song that also raises some interesting questions about gender roles and objectification in popular music.
