take off the swimsuits and now we've got some work to do
Nick means a groove and this groove here is meant for a swimsuit (the groin part) and knack means something performed, or to be done. So this means, girls, it's time for work.
3.Something performed, or to be done, requiring aptness and dexterity. [from mid 14th c.] https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/knack
a small notch, groove, chip, or the like, cut into or existing in something.

let's get changed!
In plain speak: let's get changed!
The pun on nicks/nacks is probably too tricky to translate in Polish.
If you watch the video, they are on vacation, lazing around a swimming pool, and next they don't do either any kind of arduous work - they go to visit someone.
The only difference being they swapped swimsuits for summer dresses.
