[Intro 1]
[C][Em][F][G]

[Verse 1]
To[C]night was just great,
She [G]taught us the sign for [C]peace.[G]
Now She's [C]made us some popcorn,
We've [G]turned out the lights and we're
[Am]watching [Em]movies
I [F]don't understand and she [G]tries to explain
How a [Dm]spaceship is riding through
[G]somebody's brain
And [C]their blood and [Em]guts and [F]oh[G]

[Chorus 1]
[C]She's the best one that we'[Em]ve ever had
She [F]sits on her hair
And she's [G]tall as my dad
And she [Dm]tie-died my shirt,
And she [G]pierced her own ear
And it's [Am]peace, man, [Em]cool, yeah, the
[F]baby[G]sitter's [C]here[Em][F][G]

[Verse 2]
Her [C]boyfriend is Tom but we [G]call him the
king of ro[C]mance[G]
He [C]wears an American [G]flag on the butt of his
[Am]ripped up [Em]pants
And [F]will they get married with
[G]kids of their own?
He says [Dm]"Not if she's going to
[G]college we won't,"
And [C]he kisses [Em]her, [F]oh
Someday I'll have a boyfriend [G]just like that

[Chorus 2]
[C]She's the best one that we'[Em]ve ever had
She [F]sits on her hair
And she's [G]tall as my dad
And she [Dm]got mad at dinner when
[G]Tom drank a beer
But [Am]peace, man, [Em]cool, hey, the
[F]baby[G]sitter's [C]here

[Bridge 1]
And we [F]all went to see her go
[G]dance at the high school
We [Am]made her a [Em]big card
And she [F]told us that she'd be the
[G]unicorn wearing the [Am]pink leo[Em]tard
And [F]there she was leaping up
[G]just like she said,
With a [Dm]sparking horn coming [G]out of her head
And [C]she's oh...oh oh [Em]uh oh
[F]I can't wait to give her card,
[G]I can't wait to give her the card
[C]She's the best one[Em][F][G]
[Dm]OK, so, the play[G] was called the unicorn,
[Am]And she was the unicorn,
[Em]So That means the star...was
[F]my [G]babysitter!
[C][Em][F][G]

[Verse 3]
But it's [C]Saturday night,
I can't [G]sleep, and we're watching the [C]news[G]
She says, [C]"Do me a favor,
Don't [G]go with a guy who would
[Am]make you [Em]choose,"
And I [F]don't understand, and she
[G]tries to explain
And [Dm]all that mascara runs [G]down in her pain
Cause [C]she's leaving [Em]me, [F]oh[G]

[Chorus 3]
[C]You're the best one that we'[Em]ve ever had
You [F]sit on your hair
And you're [G]tall as my dad
And I'll [Dm]make you a picture for
[G]college next year
So [Am]hush now, [Em]peace, man, the
[F]baby[G]sitter's [Am]here[Em]
The [F]best baby[G]sitter's
[C]here.[Em][F][G]
[C]
We will see the spinache.
Just sometimes, though, not all the time
