Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This one is goin out to the stripper joints
Yo meet me at Susies ronday-vou
For any go-go bar
Imma send this one out to the gentlemens club,magic city,New York Dollers,Rollex
Ill be seein u up in there late at nite
I understand when ur girls stressen u out
Crazy Girls!
Dont let the ladies fool you now fellas
They be doin the same thing ya'll be doin
Turn up my symphany man....Turn up my symphany!
Drop a beat!

I'm in a paradise
Look at all of these crystals!
Yo straightup this the new anthum
For anybody worken hard tryen to make that money
Check it out ya'll

Just cause she dances go-go
That don't make her a hoe, no!
Maxine put your red shoes on
We goin to the disco
We gonna elope
To mexico
Called up my mom and said im in love wit a stripper yo

Ten grand~let me see you shake it like you got no bones in your body
And u was ment to be a celeberty
20 grand~no its a sin
But if only u show me more skin then would fofill my fantasy
30 grand~ to the highest bidder
but chris rock said theres no sex in the champaign room
40 grand~looked into her eyes
i saw tears fallen down
Type of tears that money couldn't buy

Reverse:2xs

Excuse me wat is ur name?

My name is Hope yo
I was blessed with a body of the goddesses


Have you any idea how hard this is?
I can flex in 25 positions
But i only work here to pay my tuition
Yo tantalyzen teazer
Table top Pleazer
Give me wat i needa
Master card or visa
Lap dance
Fantasy
Picture us on an all white canapy
Wycleaf extended his hand to me
Lyk Billy D sed he bail me
Take me away from hear
So far!
Were they ride horses
No cars!
No more strippen in bars
Me n u cleaf against the odds

Reverse:2xs

Yo lot of ya'll sit wit ur girls
FRont the like the budweiser commercial
Talk bout ahhahaha
Ill be goin to the stripper joints
You be lien man!
You be surprised who you see up in there man
I got one question for u liers man
Shockola!
What are u a preacher?
You callen her a hooker?
He without sin cast the first stone
I met her on the subway
She gave me that V.I.P. card
An told me if i ever have problems
Don't hesitate to come by

Reverse:2xs

Yo baby can i get another lap dance?




I tell yah i aint go nuten but funny money man
New York Dollas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wyclef Jean's song Stripper Song are a tribute to strip clubs and the people who work in them. The song delivers the message that just because someone works as a stripper or go-go dancer, that doesn't automatically make them a bad person. The lyrics ask listeners to appreciate the hard work that strippers do and to try to understand them.


The song is also critical of the double standards that exist in society. The message is that men and women should be treated equally, and that there is no reason to judge someone for working in the sex industry. The lyrics are highly sexualized and filled with imagery of lap dances and fantasies, but at the same time, they try to highlight the humanity and dignity of strippers.


Overall, Stripper Song is a complex and nuanced song that tries to tackle the controversial topic of sex work. It acknowledges the negative aspects of the industry while also shining a light on the hard work and resilience of the people who work in it.
