The Babysitter’s Here
by Dar Williams
«The Honesty Room»
D A D A
Tonight was just great, she taught us the sign for peace
D A
Now she’s made us some popcorn we’ve turned out the lights
Bm F#m
And we’re watching movies
G Em A
I don’t understand and she tries to explain
G Em A
How a spaceship is riding through somebody’y brain
D A G A
And there’s blood and guts, Oh
D Bm A
She’s the best one that we’ve ever had
G Em A
She sits on her hair and she’s tall as my dad
G A
And she tie-dyed my shirt, and she pierced her own ear
Bm F#m G A D A
And it’s peace man, cool yah, the babysitter’s here
D A D A
Her boyfriend is Tom but we call him «the king of romance»
D A Bm F#m
He wears an American flag on the butt of his ripped up pants and
G Em A
Will they get married with kids of their own
G Em A
He says not if she’s going to college we won’t and he
D A G A
Kisses her oh
D Bm A
She’s the best one that we’ve ever had
G Em A
She sits on her hair and she’s tall as my dad
G A
And she got mad at dinner when Tom drank a beer
Bm F#m G A D
But peace man, cool hey, the babysitter’s here
G A
And we all went to see her go dance at the high school
Bm F#m
We made her a big card
G A Bm F#m
And she told us that she’d be the unicorn wearing the pink leotard and
G Em A
There she was leaping up just like she said
G Em A
With a sparkling horn coming out of her head
D A G A
And she’s … oh ….
D A D A
But it’s Saturday night, I can’t sleep and I’m watching the news
D A Bm F#m
She says do me a favor don’t go with a guy who would make you choose and
G Em A
I don’t understand and she tries to explain
G Em A D A G A
And all that mascara runs down in her pain cause she’s leaving me
D Bm A
You’re the best one that we’ve ever had
G Em A
You sit on your hair and you’re tall as my dad
G Em A
And I’ll make you a picture for college next year
Bm F#m G A D Bm
So hush now, peace man, the babysitter’s here
G A D
The best babysitter’s here
