Ida Know
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her first name is Ida. Her last name is Know.
So when I'm caught red-handed
Here's what I do:
I say "I didn't do it
It was you know who..."
Who put ketchup on the floor? Ida Know
When your mother tells you "shame"
And you need someone to blame,
Just remember Ida's name: Ida Know
Who ate Oreos in bed? Ida Know
Hit the baby on the head? Ida Know
If there's trouble and they find it,
Smile and tell them who's behind it
Just one kid could mastermind it: Ida Know
Ida Know-
She's the one who wouldn't shush
She's the one who wouldn't flush
She's a lot of fun to play with
Wo wo wo-
It's the only way to go
Cause when you know Ida Know
There's so much you get away with
Who forgot to do her math? Ida Know
Put a goldfish in the bath? Ida Know
Stuck a finger in the strudel
Used a vacuum on the poodle
Come on, kiddo, use you noodle: Ida Know
So if you do something wrong-Ida Know
You can sing this little song-Ida Know
But if this one doesn't do
Here's another one for you:
Ida Wanna-she's good, too
Ida Wanna?
Yes you do
Ida Think So
Yeah her too
Ida Thought So
She's gone to Idaho
Ida Who?
Are we through?
Ida Know
The song "Ida Know" is a playful and catchy tune performed by Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen. The lyrics revolve around a friend named Ida who serves as the perfect scapegoat for the young girls whenever they get into trouble. The chorus "Who put ketchup on the floor? Ida Know. Who ate Oreos in bed? Ida Know" reflects their tendency to shift the blame onto Ida whenever they've done something wrong. Ida Know is painted as a mischievous character who opposes societal norms, such as flushing the toilet after use, and enjoys having fun.
The song portrays children's tendency to avoid blame and the lengths they go to escape getting in trouble. Each verse follows a similar pattern, where the girls ask questions about various misdeeds that they likely committed, then respond with "Ida Know" as a means of deflecting blame. The song represents the innocence and playfulness of childhood, where children are still learning values and trying to navigate the rules of the world.
