The song’s title is a reference to the band’s name. There aren’t 52 girls named in the song lyrics, only 24. And later when this song was covered by the alternative band, The Offspring, they changed almost all the names of the girls named in the song.
52 Girls Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Effie, Madge, Mabel, Biddie
See them on the beach
Or in New York City
Tina, Louise, and Hazel and Mavis
[Chorus]
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
[Verse 2]
Wanda and Janet and Ronnie and Reba, oh, oh, oh, oh
These are the girls of the USA
The principal girls of the USA
[Chorus]
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, oh, Kate, Kate, Cindy, and Crystal and Candy
Mercedes and Joan, Betty and Brenda
Suzie and Anita and Phoebe and Jack, Jackie, oh, oh, oh, oh
These are the girls of the USA
The principal girls of the USA
[Chorus]
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Can you name, name, name, name them today?
Can you name, name, name, name?
