Girls Lyrics
And in the morning it's girls
Cause in the evening it's girls
And it's chill to hear them talk
And I can always make them smile
From White Castle to the Nile
There was this girl around the way
She liked by home-piece M.C.A.
He said she would not give her play
I asked him, "Please?" - he said, "You may."
Her pants were tight and that's ok
If she would dance - I would D.J.
We took a walk down to the bay
I should have probly guessed they're gay
So I broke North with no delay
I heard she moved real far away
That was two years ago this May
I seen her just the other day
Jackin' Mike D. to my dismay
Girls - to clean up my room
Girls - to do the laundry
Girls - and in the bathroom
Girls - that's all I really want is girls
Two at a time - I want girls
With new wave hairdos - I want girls
I ought to whip out my - girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!
they were probably kidding around and didn't fully realise the impact of their lyrics b4 but they're sorry now :) look at song for the man and i think that they sed once that their first album started off as a joke that went to far and people believed that they were really like that.
I'm a girl, and I love this song. It's funny, I think. I mean, I'd never do a guy's dishes or clean his room just because he tells me or something, but it's a catchy tune. If you look at the lighter side of everything, like me, you'll think it's funny. Susan B. Anthony might be turning in her grave, but that may very well be with laughter. Forget being politically correct and have fun.
I'm a girl too, and you couldn't have said it better. thanks XD

Out of all beastie boys songs, this is the funniest! I love how instead of using metal and rap music it just uses a xylophone.
This song is great, it so perfectly portrays the patriarchy mindset: boy likes girl, girl doesn't like boy, boy's feelings get hurt so he turns to objectify all women. The Beastie Boys were very smart, and this song (and unfortunately mindset) are still very relevant today.
IMO, this song is a satire of misogyny in rap music through the device of singing it from a childish perspective, complete with playground-rhyme lyrics and music. Like, "to clean up my room"? What fully-grown man refers to 'his room'? It sounds like he's referring to his mom, not a woman he's in a relationship with.
Then again, Kathleen Hanna, frontwoman of feminist punk acts Le Tigre and Bikini Kill and Ad-Rock's wife, quoted this song in the documentary about her, "The Punk Singer", as evidence of the Beastie Boys' early misogyny. So either I'm wrong or they've just never talked about it.
@caed950683 definitely could be a satire of the rap genre ... not that it made any difference, women are still heavily objectified in rap music and videos (and by women in the genre too).

Whether you take this song seriously or not, lets face it, it's written from the perspective of teenagers. We all had an immature phase like this. But most of us grew up a little. The Beasties have apologized for these kinds of lyrics. If this song offends you, try any other album by them.
yea, its right. xcept for a couple, instead of "jackin' Mike D." I believe it's "jockin' Mike D." and after he asks her out and she says no way, I think he probably guesses "her" gay, instead of "they're" gay. chicken grease suckas!
its a cool song
It was a joke, like all the frat boys that used "fight for your right" as their anthem, and it's them that the song is making fun of.
I just heard this song today, and I knew I had to say my piece for this song. Well... what can I say. It truly is a pop song, as it was starting to get catchy when I heard it, but luckly in the hours since I've forgot the words. The lyrics could be better, both morally and artistically. I think my friend was rigght when she said the Beastie Boys belong back in the 80's... These guys are so to be original... I can't really say that for this song... :(
