Take It Off Lyrics

There's a place downtown,
Where the freaks all come around.
It's a hole in the wall.
It's a dirty free for all.

When the dark
Of the night comes around.
That's the time,
That the animal comes alive.
Looking for
Something wild.

And now we lookin' like pimps
In my gold Trans-Am.
Got a water bottle full of whiskey
In my handbag.
Got my drunk text on
I'll regret it in the mornin'
But tonight
I don't give a
I don't give a
I don't give a

There's a place downtown,
Where the freaks all come around.
It's a hole in the wall.
It's a dirty free for all.

And they turn me on.
When they Take It Off.
When they Take It Off.
Everybody Take It Off.

There's a place I know
If you're looking for a show.
Where they go hardcore
And there's glitter on the floor.

And they turn me on.
When they Take It Off.
When they Take It Off.
Everybody Take It Off.

Lose your mind.
Lose it now.
Lose your clothes
In the crowd.
We're delirious.
Tear it down
'Til the sun comes back around.

N-now we're getting so smashed.
Knocking over trash cans.
Eurbody breakin' bottles
It's a filthy hot mess.
Gonna get faded
I'm not the designated
Driver so
I don't give a
I don't give a
I don't give a

There's a place downtown,
Where the freaks all come around.
It's a hole in the wall.
It's a dirty free for all.

And they turn me on.
When they Take It Off.
When they Take It Off.
Everybody Take It Off.


There's a place I know
If you're looking for a show.
Where they go hardcore
And there's glitter on the floor.

And they turn me on.
When they Take It Off.
When they Take It Off.
Everybody Take It Off.

Oh, oh, oh!

EVERYBODY TAKE IT OFF!

Oh, Oh, Oh!

EVERYBODY TAKE IT OFF!

Right now! TAKE IT OFF!
Right now! TAKE IT OFF!
Right now! TAKE IT OFF!

Oooh.

Right now! TAKE IT OFF!
Right now! TAKE IT OFF!

EVERYBODY TAKE IT OFF!

There's a place downtown,
Where the freaks all come around.

When they Take It Off.
Everybody Take It Off.

There's a place I know

Does no one get the correlation to the snake charmer song:

"There's a place in France where the naked women dance and a hole in the wall where the men see it all"

The rhyme keeps going in the same tune

"Every breathe you take is enough to kill a snake when the snake is dead you put mustard on his head when the mustard dries you put rubies in his eyes when the rubies break you call the king snake and the king snake says, 'please freeze.'"

It's some old song, but I learned it as a kid as one of those chant things that kids sing.

Another version is "There's a land called Mars where the women smoke cigars, and the men wear bikinis, and the children drink martinis."

Anywho, that's the melody and the inspiration for the lyrics.

That's what I thought when I first heard it! It reminded me of the tune snake charmers always played on the cartoons I watched as a kid. I didn't know it had lyrics, though. >_< I thought it was just coincidence.

oh dear, you're not thinking hard enough. it's about a glory hole. duh. look it up on urban dictionary if you don't know what it is. it's secretly extremely very dirty.

Some people need to be introduced to culture. Lol she is clearly and obviously talking about a gay club. Not just a rave and def not singling out a glory hole. Glitter on the floor is evident enough without her interviews. Taking it off....drag shows. They come on usually fully clothed and by the end of their act they are about 95.9% naked. All gay clubs seem to be a taboo (dirty hole on the wall) not literally a glory hole. Hole in the wall is used to describe something underground and not to the likings of mainstream. And gay...

Give it up boys and girls. This is outdated, but it's either about the Glitter Gulch...or the last party I went to in high school

It's about a drag show. She already said it in an interview. I'm from Nashville and everyone is saying she wrote it about Play, the gay club where they have awesome drag shows twice every night.

I live in Nashville, too. I'm a college student, so I regular the club on Wednesdays. The dancers say that they have seen Ke$ha there on multiple occasions. Of course, this may just be rumor to pump up the club, but I do believe she's been there at least once. I also believe the song is about Play. I've heard that from so many different people.
