Here comes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
Here comes the babysitter – Yippee!! Hooray!
Here comes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
I’ve got a hunch that Mommy’s going away!

There’s something in her pocket
I think it is a prize
She says we cannot see it
Then she twinkles with her eyes
She tells us it’s a secre
But we know it’s a surprise
She thinks that we are sleeping
But we’re peeking with our eyes

Here comes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
Here comes the babysitter – jump into bed!!
Here comes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
I’ve got a hunch that soo Shema will be said!

Mommy sometimes leaves me
But never by myself
She finds a friendly babysitter

Who is glad to help
My mommy’s information
Is hanging from the shelf
In case I lose my pacifier
She can call her cell!!!

Here comes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
Here comes the babysitter – holding the phone
“Mommy – I lost my paci – where’s my blankey? I can’t find it”
“Oh no, it’s in the car – I’m coming right home!

She’s on the phone and babbling
And laughing with her friends
I know she brought her notebook
And she showed me all her pens
She was supposed to study
I hear her laugh again
I didn’t know it’s so much fun
To study with your friends

Here comes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
Here comes the babysitter – Yippee!! Hooray!
Here comes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
I’ve got a hunch she’s here forever to stay!

She tells us yummy stories
Then she shuts the light
She tucks us in, one at a time
And whispers a ‘good night’

She’s in the hall and pops inside
When we begin to fight
She’s at the door – oh, Mommy’s here
“Quick!! – shut your eyes real tight!

There goes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
She may be gone but I am never alone
There goes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
I hear a whisper – “Yes, my Mommy is home!!!

Here comes the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
Here comes the babysitter – Yippee!! Hooray!
Maybe the babysitter, babysitter, babysitter
Next time forever will stay!
