about

This tune is about the all too common phenomenon of religious people spending more time "babysitting" the "sins" of others, than dealing with their one "do" list

lyrics

Didn’t call her up
Didn’t ask her to show up
At my house
Pleasure to meet her
But her smile was sweeter
Than the words in her mouth, mmm

She’s the babysitter, at your service
And it’s a service she’ll do for free
‘cuz while Daddy’s away
We’ve all got to play, ni-i-cley
She’s the babysitter, at your service
Her favorite thing to do
Cuz while Daddy’s away
Somebody’s gotta keep an eye on you
O-o-o-o-o

Now clenched in her fist
There was a nice, tidy list
Of all the do’s and don’ts
But if truth be true
I know there are few
Do’s she don’t

But she’s the babysitter, at your service
And it’s a service she’ll do for free
‘cuz while Daddy’s away
We’ve all got to play, ni-i-cley
She’s the babysitter, at your service
Her favorite thing to do
Cuz while Daddy’s away
Somebody’s gotta keep an eye on you

Bridge (repeat x2):
Now the trouble with babysitting
Is it keeps babies sitting, on the ground
Shouldn’t we try to help each other rise
Oh-oh-oh-oh
