How the West Was Fun
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics

That winter was a bad one,
It was a harsh winter, with snow falling for thirty days straight.

For thirty days it snowed,
Snow fell continuously for a month.

The minute school was over,
As soon as school finished,

We packed the car and hit the road.
We hastily packed our car and set off.

It teetered there, the worse for wear.
The old and battered dude ranch stood there, looking unstable.

A dude ranch in decay, the bunk house leaked,
The area where we stayed was old and not well-maintained, with the bunk house being rundown and leaky.

The stable reeked, I loved it right away.
Despite the unpleasant smell of the stable, I immediately fell in love with the place.

How the west was fun, like a leap from a haystack.
The west was exciting, akin to jumping off a haystack.

How the west was fun, like a rodeo, like a flapjack!
The west was thrilling, like attending a rodeo or eating a flapjack.

I knew my heart had found it,
I felt in my heart that I had found the perfect place.

I knew my search was done.
I felt like my search was complete.

Oh, oh, oh how the west was fun!
The west was incredibly enjoyable!

I took a ride on Suicide, that was my trusty steed.
I rode a horse named Suicide, who became my faithful companion.

Knocked down three tents, and electric fence.
We caused chaos by knocking over three tents and an electric fence.

And started a stampede.
Our actions frightened the animals, and they began to stampede.

Then the hail storm and the locust swarm
We encountered a hail storm and a swarm of locusts.

That blotted out the sun.
Both of these events were so intense that they made it difficult to see the sun.

The quicksand pool was also cool!
We even found enjoyment in a quicksand pool.

And this was just day one!
All of these events happened on our first day at the ranch.

Saddle up! Westward ho!
We prepared to ride out west.

Let the station wagon roll!
We jumped in our station wagon and began our journey.

I'm one lucky daughter of a gun!
I feel incredibly fortunate to be experiencing this adventure.

The lumpy bumps, the bats and skunks,
We encountered numerous bumps in our journey, along with bats and skunks.

The slimy things that lurk.
We also encountered slimy creatures hiding around the ranch.

The sing alongs, those hokey songs,
We happily joined in singing the cheesy, yet entertaining songs.

For me, the whole thing worked.
All of these seemingly unappealing aspects of the trip worked well for me.

Oh, oh, oh, how the west was fun!
Overall, the west was a great experience!

Westward ho!
We continued our journey out west.
