Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Krokobil" by Yellow Claw ft. Sjaak & Mr. Polska are brimming with references to hips and buttocks, likening them to a crocodile with a catchy chorus that repeats "Jouw bil is een krokodil, hap hap met je krokobil" ("Your hip is a crocodile, chomp chomp with your Krokobil"). The song is essentially a tribute to the female form as the artists encourage women to dance and move their bodies in sexually suggestive ways. The lyrics also make reference to money and the artists' lifestyle, with lines like "Ik heb money, in me zakken, wat is dat? je billen zakken" ("I have money in my pockets, what is that? Your hips dropping"), implying that they can afford to indulge in the finer things in life and are looking for attractive women with whom they can spend their money.

While the lyrics of "Krokobil" may be interpreted as crude or sexist by some, they tap into a long tradition of hip-hop and dance music celebrating the female form and encouraging people to dance and let loose. The song's repetitive chorus and catchy beat make it an undeniable earworm, while its aggressive style and playful use of language give it a sense of humor and a lighthearted tone.
