Toys
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause when we're wrinkled and gray
I hope there's still a kid in you,
Who wants to come out and play.
What is this gadget in hand? What is for?
It's not my imagination, I can see a dinosaur
Ooh, look at the pretty teddy bear
We're in a place that brings together
Toy's you'll treasure forever
Everything is here and waiting
No time for hesitating
Chorus:
When I grow up (Grow up)
I wanna be a kid (Be a kid)
Look at all the really cool things kids can get into
Ooh (ooh)
When I grow up (Grow up, grow up)
I wanna be a kid (Be a kid)
I wanna have some fun and stay forever young
This fits so easy in my hand
It's a perfect size
I wanna see that shiny tractor
It depends on what you're after
I gotta go see the kitchen store
It's state of the art
Everything is there for baking, broiling, boling, oiling, shaking
This paradise of toys just might be better than boys
Chorus
Everything is here for waiting, it's time for celebrating

I used to have the Ashley doll from this doll actually had a lot of Ashley dolls cuz she used to be my fav out of the twins. I remember my mom buying me this from Value City back when it wasn’t just a furniture store.
@shanec3610

Because of this commercial, anytime I meet someone named Ashley, I have to resist the urge to ask if she loves to dance ballet and if she turns and twirls all day.
@emmaoswald8043
I wish they still make them
@brianaguilar8283
At least there’s lots of them. These dolls lasted from 2000 to 2005
