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. |
|
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 |
|
(I can't wait to give her the card, I can't wait to give her the card) |
|
She's the best one . . . |
|
OK, so the play was called 'The Unicorn' and she was the |
|
unicorn so that means that the star was my babysitter. |
|
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 |
