Lyrics

Got me a movie, I want you to know

Expressing ownership of a film

Slicin' up eyeballs, I want you to know

Metaphorical reference to disturbing or unconventional actions

Girlie so groovy, I want you to know

Describing someone as cool or attractive

Don't know about you

Uncertainty about another person's perspective or feelings


But I am un chien andalusia

Repetition emphasizing identification with the surrealist film "Un Chien Andalou"

I am un chien andalusia

-

I am un chien andalusia

-

I am un chien andalusia

-

Wanna grow up to be

Desire to mature or evolve

Be a debaser (debaser)

Aspiration to become a "debaser," repeated for emphasis

Got me a movie, ha-ha-ha-ho

Reiteration of owning a movie, laughter possibly indicating amusement or irony

Slicin' up eyeballs, ha-ha-ha-ho

Repeated metaphorical slicing of eyeballs, potentially symbolizing violence or distortion

Girlie so groovy, ha-ha-ha-ho

Reiteration of someone being appealing, laughter possibly indicating irony or amusement

Don't know about you

Similar uncertainty about another person's viewpoint or emotions


But I am un chien andalusia

Repeated identification with "Un Chien Andalou"

I am un chien andalusia
