I'd Like to Be a Cowboy
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We wanted to see the cowboys rope and ride.
We got excited as we watched the show.
We jumped right up and down and then we cried.
Chorus:
I'd like to be a cowboy, but, ooh, I'm scared of cows,
Moo, moo, moo how they scare me.
Moo, moo, moo how they scare me.
I'd walk up to a lion, and smack him on the brow,
I'd even kick a polecat, but don't ask me to punch a cow.
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo. Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo.
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo. Moo, moo, moo, how they scare me!
I tried to milk a Hoistein, she acted like a fool.
No matter how I coaxed her, she wouldn't sit down on the stool.
Chorus
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo. Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo.
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo, Yikes!
A cow once tried to chase me, across a field of corn.
She bumped right into my guitar, and didn't even sound the horn!
They'd like to all be cowboys, but ooh, they're scared of cows.
(Moo, moo, moo, how they scare us!)
They often try to face them, as in the fields they browse.
(Moo, how they scare us!)
Yippie ki-yi-I, yippi-yippie-ki-yi-a. Yippie, yippie
, yippie-yippie-ki-a. Yippie, yippie, yippie-yippie-k-a!
The Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen's song I'd Like to Be a Cowboy is a playful tune that tells the story of two girls who went to a rodeo and got excited to see the cowboys rope and ride. The chorus of the song includes the repetition of the phrase "Moo, moo, moo how they scare me." This shows that despite the girls' enthusiasm to be cowboys, they are terrified of the cows themselves. They sing about their attempts to face the cows in the field, but they always end up scared.
The song also includes some comical lyrics that show the girls' humorous attempts to become cowboys. For instance, they sing about trying to milk a cow and coaxing it to sit on a stool, but the cow wouldn't oblige. They also make quirky statements about being able to walk up to a lion and smack it on the brow or kick a polecat, but they cannot punch a cow.
Overall, the song showcases the girls' playful imagination and their love for adventure. It also highlights the disconnect between the girls' desire to be cowboys and their fear of the very animals they would be working with.
