Cover art for Dimmer lyrics by Bishop Allen

I'm from Norway and doesn't understand what they mean with "Olly olly oxen free" Someone explain?

Olly olly oxen free is a pharse used in a game of hide and seek, which is a childrens game where kids hide and one of them has to find them... and if he or she cannot find the other kids and gives up he or she would say "Olly olly oxen free" and the kids hiding would come out. hope that helpped... i love norway
