Words and music by dar williams

Tonight was just greatshe taught us the sign for peace

Now she's made us some popcornwe'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 peacemancoolyeahthe 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

Leotardand

There she was leaping up just like she said

With a sparkling horn coming out of her head

And she's ohohohoh

(I can't wait to give her the cardI can't wait to give her the card)

She's the best one . . .

Okso 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 nowpeaceman

The babysitter's here

The best babysitter's here
