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...
Oh!
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
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, cause 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-oh-oh-oh-oh-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 name of the play is The Unicorn,
and she's the unicorn So that means that the
star of the show is 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've 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
How enough of all this falderal and fiddle-dee-dee!
I need serious art!
Musicians,
if you please!
Thank you, minstrels.
Tonight,
we celebrate one of the greatest examples of English literature.
