Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, look up the street.
Fire engines.
Is something on fire?
They're coming up our driveway.
They're getting out the truck.
I don't smell anything burning.
You answer it.
Yes sir?
Do the Olsen twins live here?
That's us.
And did you two enter a draw to win a puppy from the fire department?
You mean?
I mean, you won! You have won five hondered pauling puppies!
Come on men, set 'em down here.
oooo they're so cute.
So long.




I can't believe it! Five hundered puppies!
What are we gonna tell mom and dad?
