about

WARNING! This song employs “irony.” I do find it amusing the amount of
“looking down” on the neighboring towns that goes on around here. Hey, I’ve lived in all three and it just ain’t no big thing, okay? Hugs! (and yes, Lacey passed Olympia this year for the largest city population in Thurston County.
Ain’t that sumthin’?)

Lacey likely most populated Thurston County city now. The Olympian.

lyrics

Olympia’s better than Lacey
Olympia’s better than Tumwater
Olympia’s better than Lacey
It’s certainly better than Yelm

Lacey’s now the biggest but Olympia’s the best
Lacey’s now the biggest but Olympia’s the best
Lacey’s now the biggest but Olympia’s the best
The best, the best, the best

Y’know, I grew up in Olympia, Washington
And I always thought that
Maybe people in Tumwater thought that
Maybe people in Lacey thought that
I don’t know
I went to Olympia High School
In my senior year, my mom moved to Tumwaterand I sure as hell was not going to transfer and go to Tumwater High School
That was not going to happen
Because … Olympia’s the best, right?
Well, y’know, it’s a couple million years laterand maybe it’s just time to
chill out on that and give a big hug to everybody in Thurston County
We love ya!
