Critters On My Crackers
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Those annoying little things (annoying little things)
That grab your attention (grab your attention)
By crawling into places,
I wouldn't want to mention

They should be taught some manners (taught some manners)
Despite their height (You're right!)
They shouldn't take what isn't theirs
And it's impolite to fight

Chorus:
Critters on my crackers
Bugs on my baloney
Oh my gosh here comes a bumblebee
Oh my gosh here comes a big bumblebee
Those little things make your stomach grumble
Make it wanna fumble, tip and tumble
Fleas in the flour
Stinkbugs in my sweet and sour
Ants in my pants
And that bumblebee was bigger than an elephant
Insignificant little things (insignificant)
When they're on their own (on their own)
But put them in a squadron
They'll eat you to the bone
Delicious little things (yum yum yum)
You shouldn't knock it (you really shouldn't knock it)
Cause you know they taste best
When dipped in chocolate

Chorus

I swear it was this big!

Critters on my crackers
Bugs on my baloney
Oh my gosh here comes a bigger bumblebee
Those little things make your stomach grumble
Make it wanna fumble, tip and tumble
Critters on my crackers
Bugs on my baloney
O Oh!
Fleas, flies, beatles, bugs, maggots, mice, spiders, slugs




Critters, critters, critters
On my crackers

Line by Line Meaning

Those annoying little things (annoying little things)
This phrase refers to the pests that bother people by showing up in unexpected places and being difficult to get rid of.


That grab your attention (grab your attention)
These pests make themselves known by being noticeable, often appearing in large groups or crawling in small spaces.


By crawling into places, I wouldn't want to mention
This line suggests that the pests in question are able to fit into or access small spaces that are unsanitary or unwanted.


They should be taught some manners (taught some manners)
The pests could be more manageable or less obnoxious if they were less aggressive, less territorial, or more respectful of human spaces.

This line acknowledges that pests come in all shapes, sizes, and varieties, but that this does not make them any less harmful or annoying.


They shouldn't take what isn't theirs And it's impolite to fight
This line implies that pests act selfishly and sometimes violently, but that this behavior is inappropriate and should not be tolerated.


Chorus: Critters on my crackers Bugs on my baloney Oh my gosh here comes a bumblebee Oh my gosh here comes a big bumblebee Those little things make your stomach grumble Make it wanna fumble, tip and tumble Fleas in the flour Stinkbugs in my sweet and sour Ants in my pants And that bumblebee was bigger than an elephant
The chorus lists a series of examples of pests that can infest or invade food, clothing, or personal space. The pests cause discomfort, fear, or an urge to vomit or fall over. The mention of an unusually large bumblebee adds to the sense of humor and exaggeration.


Insignificant little things (insignificant)
This phrase is somewhat sarcastic, suggesting that despite being small or inconspicuous, pests can be quite problematic and challenging to deal with.


When they're on their own (on their own)
Pests can appear harmless if they are not part of a larger group or infestation, but this is not always the case.


But put them in a squadron They'll eat you to the bone
This line suggests that pests can become much more dangerous and formidable when they band together or multiply, potentially causing harm to people or property.


Delicious little things (yum yum yum)
This line is somewhat ironic, as it suggests that despite being unwanted nuisances, some pests can be seen as edible or tasty if prepared in a certain way.


You really shouldn't knock it (you really shouldn't knock it)
This line suggests that there may be a hidden value or benefit to some pests, despite their negative qualities or associations.


Cause you know they taste best When dipped in chocolate
This phrase is somewhat absurd and supports the idea that some people might have unconventional tastes or preferences when it comes to food or snacks. It also highlights the idea that pests can be seen in different ways, depending on one's perspective or context.


Critters, critters, critters On my crackers
This line repeats the chorus, emphasizing the annoying, repetitive cycles of pest infestations and human responses to them.
