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 the sparkling horn coming out of her head

And she's 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 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 oh

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
