My name is Panty, the crazy sexy blondie
And I'm not dumb
I'm breaking the news, now boys! Us girls
We're full-time horny too!
Hey, check out that hot one damn he's got a big one

It's time to get dirty now, so will y'all excuse me
Read the air! I'm busy!
Garterbelt! Again you've dialed D-CITY-2-900
Pantsu line! Copy that! Clear the city!
Anarchy! Everyone wants to be me!
Anarchy yeah! Get it up, so I can see!
Anarchy! Let it flow wild and free!
Anarchy yeah! Y'all ready for the gig?!
By the way my name is Stocking, I spill venom
Stinging eros
And I got sweet tooth for lollipops
Loli goth, I lick good!
These stripes will strip you down
I got no mercy for chiralism
My fans they all love me 'cuz I kick it real tasty
I get high being nasty!
Garterbelt! You keep slappin' my butt around
Pantsu line! Freaky girl comin' your way!
Anarchy! Everyone wants to be me!
Anarchy yeah! Standing ovation please!
Anarchy! Shake that thing wild and free!
Anarchy yeah! Steady ready for the gig?!
I know you know... those wings inside of you
I know you know... they do get naughty too
Before I go... there is something I want to say
Your sleepy anarchy... Wake it up! Wake it up!
Anarchy! Everyone wants to be me!
Anarchy yeah! Get it up, so I can see!
Anarchy! Let it flow wild and free!
Anarchy yeah! Y'all ready for the gig?!
