The Babysitter's Here |
Tonight was just great, she taught us the sign for peace |
Now she’s made us some popcorn, we’ve turned out the lights and we’re watching |
movies |
I don’t understand and she tries to explain |
How a spaceship is riding through somebody’s brain |
And there’s blood and guts and… |
She’s the best one that we’ve ever had |
She sits on her hair and she’s tall as my dad |
And she tie-dyed my shirt and she pierced her own ear |
And it’s peace, man, cool, yeah, the babysitter’s here… |
Her boyfriend is Tom, but we call him the king of romance |
He wears an American flag on the butt of his ripped-up pants |
And will they get married with kids of their own? |
He says, «Not if she’s going to college we won’t,» |
And he kisses her, oh… |
Someday I’ll have a boyfriend just like that… |
She’s the best one that we’ve ever had |
She sits on her hair and she’s tall as my dad |
And she got mad at dinner when Tom drank a beer |
But peace, man, cool, hey, the babysitter’s here… |
And we all went to see her go dance at the high school |
We made her a big card |
And she told us that she’d be the unicorn wearing the pink leotard |
And there she was, leaping up just like she said |
With a sparkling horn coming out of her head |
And she’s oh… oh… |
I can’t wait to give her the card, I can’t wait to give her the card! |
She’s the best one… |
Okay, so, the play was called The Unicorn, and she was the unicorn, |
so that means that the star was… my babysitter |
But it’s Saturday night, I can’t sleep |
And we’re watching the news |
She says «Do me a favor, don’t go with a guy who would make you choose,» and |
I don’t understand and she tries to explain |
And all that mascara runs down in her pain |
'Cause she’s leaving me… |
You’re the best one that we ever had |
You sit on your hair, and you’re tall as my dad |
And I’ll make you a picture for college next year |
So hush now, peace, man, the babysitter’s here |
The best babysitter’s here |
