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.
