The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Call me
Now call me later tell me if you really care
If you think that you know me then prove it
If you were a tote bag filled with beach toys I would take you to the mall and try to lost it
Hop on that moped we can go thirty miles an hour
After that hour buy me roses, candy, chips and flowers
I know you've got a crush but what can I do?
I prefer a little lovin' with my marinated tofu
On my giant trampoline I go "bounce bounce" you fall in love with every ounce ounce
On my giant trampoline I go "bounce bounce" you fall in love with every ounce ounce
Holler if you hear me, holler holler,
Holler if you fear me, holler holler.
Don't, yeah, don't blame me, yeah,
Blame my booty, yeah, Cos it's such a cutey.
x2
A case of corn fed, un wed, drop dead girl.
Just bootylicious booty breaking your heart.
Hold up, hold up.
Please don't hate 'cos I play the game
And I tease them with bait fo' sure
Me and you, on a blanket for two
You crack open a litre of Sahara Mist
You speak of my beauty and how you're enchanted
You promise your love proposing every wish & how you'll grant it.
And every heartland honey just loves to please
Those corn fed girls in the wal-mart jeans
On my giant trampoline I go "bounce bounce" you fall in love with every ounce ounce
On my giant trampoline I go "bounce bounce" you fall in love with every ounce ounce
Holler if you hear me, holler holler,
Holler if you fear me, holler holler.
Don't, yeah, don't blame me, yeah,
Blame my booty, yeah, Cos it's such a cutey.
x2
I case of corn fed, un wed, drop dead girl.
Just bootylicious booty breaking your heart.
'Cos if you're looking for a lady
One that you can call your baby
And if you're looking to spoil me, royally oily and constantly.
I'm not playing hard to get, no. I'm just hard to get.
My booty, guilty. A booty loveliness
On my giant trampoline I go "bounce bounce" you fall in love with every ounce ounce
On my giant trampoline I go "bounce bounce" you fall in love with every ounce ounce
Holler if you hear me, holler holler,
Holler if you fear me, holler holler.
Don't, yeah, don't blame me, yeah,
Blame my booty, yeah, Cos it's such a cutey.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
