ARTIST: Dar Williams TITLE: The Babysitter's Here Lyrics and Chords 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 / C G C G / C G / Am Em / F G / Dm G / C Em F G / 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 yah, the babysitter's here / C Em / F G / Dm G / Am Em FG C / 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 / F G / Am Em / F G / Am Em / F G / Dm G / C Em / F G / C Em F G / {Spoken} Ok, so, the play was called "The Unicorn" And she was the Unicorn So, that means that the star was my babysitter / Dm G / Am Em / FG C Em F G / But it's Saturday night, I can't sleep and I'm 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 / C Em / F G / Dm G / Am Em DmG Am Em / FG C Em F G /
