I've Got Something in my Lunchbox
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got something in my lunchbox.
I don't really know what it was.
I don't really know where it came from.
But it's certainly covered with fuss.

Maybe it could have been chocolate.
Maybe a caramel or two.
I've got something in my lunchbox.
And I'd gladly share it with you.

I've got something in my lunchbox.
I don't really know what it is.
I'm willing to take some suggestions.
You might say it's just like a quiz.

What's something green and digusting?
What is something moldy and red?
Well I think there's one in my lunchbox,
And I am not quite sure that it is dead.

What is it?
I've been trying to figure this out since noon.
What is it?
I can't quite get it out, do you have a spoon?
What is it?
I've been trying to figure this out since noon.
What is it?
I can't quite get it out, do you have a spoon?

I've got something in my lunchbox.
I'm not really sure where it's from.
It's rather hard like a candy.
In the middle it's squishy like gum.
Maybe it could have been chocolate
Or maybe an ice cream cone.

Well I've got something in my lunchbox.




And I can't believe I brought this thing home.
I can't believe I brought this thing home.
