  • She's got legs, she knows how to use them
    She never begs, she knows how to choose them
    She's holdin' leg, wonder how to feel them
    Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
    She's my baby, she's my baby
    Yeah, it's alright, oh yeah

    She's got hair down to her fanny
    She's kinda jet set, try to undo her panties
    Every time she's dancin', she knows what to do
    Everybody wants to see if she can use it
    She's so fine, she's all mine
    Girl, you got it right
    Oh

    She's got legs, she knows how to use them
    She never begs, knows how to choose them
    She's got a dime all of the time
    Stays out at night, movin' through time
    Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her
    Little girl is alright, she's alright, oh Writer/s: Billy F Gibbons, Frank Lee Beard, Joe Michael Hill

  • George Pope from Vancouver BcAs usual, the whiners/protesters accuse the song of being exactly the opposite of what it was -- it wasn't objectifying women(maybe the video was *shrug*)-- it was glorifying the independent capability of women--some thing the lobbies seem to ignore or downplay, as it doesn't earn the big bucks. . .
  • Mike from WisconsinWhy did the lady take off her glasses and left her glasses behind?
  • Seventhmist from 7th HeavenAnd when the "feminist" groups started whining, the song's sales started climbing!
  • Marc from -, MdFirst-ever interview with the girls in this video, including what they are doing now and never-published pics: http://noblemania.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-girl-in-video-legs-1984-part-1-of-3.html
  • Jeff from Boston, MaI'm just surprised some idiot hasn't posted to explain to us how this song is really about drugs.
  • Jason from Denver, CoTo ALL the ladies reading these comments. LEGS is the word of the day. So uh please SPREAD the WORD!!
  • Thomas from Somerville, AlI agree with Ed from Incongnito..this was not ZZ's best effort. The video was a beginning of a series of videos that were however, sexy and fun to watch. The song was very synthasized as was the ramainder of the album. When I saw them in concert, it was hard for them to keep up with the syncronized rythem tracks that had been pre-recorded. THEY STILL ROCKED THE HOUSE THOUGH!!
  • Austin from Smallsville,new England, --I read in an issue of guitar world that the orgins of the song came when:one day in Texas the three were in there car and they saw a beautiful women and it was raining hard out. So they were going to offer her a ride but before they knew it she was gone. One of the members jokes "She's got legs,and she knows how to use them".Thus the song came about. That might not be the exact story I will try to find the article later and post it on here.
  • Tom from Marble Falls, ArIsn't it ironic that the only ZZ Topper without a beard was named Beard?
  • Ed from Incognito, IlOne of my all-time favorite bands, altho I was HIGHLY disappointed with this song/album...it was a clear sign that they were departing from the vocals/guitar/bass/drums genre which made them my favorite in favor of the computer-generated, synthesized crap that you see before you. ugh!
  • Dave from Coal Valley, IlZZ-Top rocked back then, awesome videos with nice cars and even nicer looking girls!
  • Big And Tall from Yeehaw Junction, FlBefore MTV became BET and stopped playing videos, this song's video was in heavy rotation. Cool cars, hot women, great tune. It's about little more than womens' legs, definitely NOT about some little girl's legs "sh*t I gotta have 'em" not usually thought about pertaining to toddler legs.
  • Joe from Bellingham, WaNo, I heard this son isn't about ladies, its about frank beard,or one of them's daughter learning how to walk. She's like 1 years old and she knows how to use them. I could be wrong, because I thought it was about ladies.
  • David from Youngstown, OhThe song is brilliant in its simplicity. It's about a woman who's got damn great legs, she realizes it and she uses it to her advantage backed up by a catchy riff and a synthesizer.
  • Michael from Nelson, NcIf you listen carefully you'll note that the line "Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her"- which must be from the liner notes is actually "Oh, I want her, sh*t, I got to have her"
  • Steve from Raynham, MaI think this is one of the catchiest songs every made. Its many favorite song ever next to Dire Strait's "skateaway"
  • Ariel from Woodbridge, CtKid Rock did a version of this for WWE Diva Stacy Keibler to use as her enterance theme
