The Babysitter's Here
"The Honesty Room"
ToDnight was just great, she tAaught us the sign for pDeaceA  
Now she's mDade us some popcorn we've Aturned out the lights
And we're wBmatching mF#movies
I dGon't understand and she tEmries to expAlain
How a sGpaceship is riding through sEmomebody'y bArain
And there's bDlood and gAuts, OGhA  
SDhe's the best one that wBme've ever hAad
She sGits on her hair and she's tEmall as my dAad
And she tGie-dyed my shirt, and she pAierced her own ear
And it's pBmeace man, cF#mool yah, the bGabysiAtter's hDereA  
Her bDoyfriend is Tom but we cAall him "the king of roDmance"A  
He wDears an American fAlag on the butt of his rBmipped up pF#mants   and
WGill they get married with kEmids of their oAwn
He says nGot if she's going to cEmollege we woAn't and he
KDisses hAer  oGhA  
SDhe's the best one that wBme've ever hAad
She sGits on her hair and she's tEmall as my dAad
And she gGot mad at dinner when TAom drank a beer
But pBmeace man, cF#mool hey, the bGabysAitter's hDere
And we aGll went to see her go dAance at the high school
We mBmade her a F#mbig card
And she tGold us that she'd be the uAnicorn wearing the pBmink leF#motard  and
TGhere she was leaping up jEmust like she sAaid
With a sGparkling horn coming oEmut of her hAead
And she's   D...   Aoh  .G...A  
But it's SDaturday night, I can't sAleep and I'm watching the nDewsA  
She says Ddo me a favor don't Ago with a guy who would mBmake you cF#mhoose  and 
I dGon't understand and she tEmries to expAlain
And aGll that mascara runs doEmwn in her paAin cause she's lDeaving AmeG  A  
DYou're the best one that Bmwe've ever hAad
You sGit on your hair and you're tEmall as my dAad
And I'll mGake you a picture for cEmollege next yAear
So hBmush now, pF#meace man, the bGabysAitter's hDereBm  
The bGest babysAitter's hDere
