Raptor
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you hear that did you hear it?
Yikes! I think it's over there.
It's a monster. It's the wind.
Does the wind have lots of hair?
Can a dinosaur be hairy?
Stop! We'll never get some sleep.
It's the wind, there's nothing scary.
Look! A prehistoric sheep!

Chorus:
Is that a raptor in the woods
The Loch Ness Monster swimming by
Something's made off with our goods
That must be Bigfoot just outside
Wait! There's a simple explanation.
It's just our imagination.
Things that scare us in the night.
Just seem funny when it's light.
Right? Right. Right. Right.
Goodnight. Goodnight. Goodnight.

Did you see that did you see it?
Giant shadows in the trees
It's a wombat. What's a wombat?
No, I think it's killer bees
No it's worse. It's from the iceage
Something time has left behind
It's a giant pterodactyl, with a little puny mind

Chorus

You guys, you've heard my explanation,
It's just our imagination.
Who's around and hold me tight.
Just don't let the bedbugs bite
Right? Right. Right. Right. Goodnight.

But if I don't make it, give my goldfish to my twin.
I don't want your goldfish.
But you're my next of kin.
Sometimes you can't win.

Wait! I know the explanation.
It's not imagination.
Arm yourself it's time to fight
or let's book ourselves a flight
Right? Right. Right? Right. Right? Right. Right?





Chorus

Overall Meaning

The Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's song "Raptor" is a lighthearted and whimsical tune that showcases the imagination of children. The song is about two siblings who are afraid of the monsters that they believe are lurking in their bedroom. As they try to figure out what the sounds and shadows could be, they come up with increasingly wild explanations, including a raptor in the woods, the Loch Ness Monster swimming by, and Bigfoot just outside. Despite their fears, they ultimately realize that it's just their imagination playing tricks on them, and they can go to bed with peace of mind.


The chorus serves as a reminder that the things that scare us at night can be seen as funny in the light of day. The children sing that many of their fears are exaggerated, and that there's always a simple explanation for what seems to be scary. However, the final verse takes a more comical turn. One of the siblings is afraid of not making it through the night and requests that their goldfish be given to their twin. The other sibling is confused and doesn't want the goldfish, to which the first sibling responds that they're their next of kin. It's a humorous exchange that captures the innocence and playfulness of childhood.
