    Verse 1
    To
    night 
    was 
    just 
    great, 

    She 
    taught 
    us 
    the 
    sign 
    for 
    peace. 

    Now 
    She's 
    made 
    us 
    some 
    popcorn, 

    We've 
    turned 
    out 
    the 
    lights 
    and 
    we're 

    watching 
    movies 

    don't 
    understand 
    and 
    she 
    tries 
    to 
    explain 

    How 
    spaceship 
    is 
    riding 
    through 

    somebody's 
    brain 

    And 
    their 
    blood 
    and 
    guts 
    and 
    oh 

    Chorus 1
    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-died 
    my 
    shirt, 

    And 
    she 
    pierced 
    her 
    own 
    ear 

    And 
    it's 
    peace, 
    man, 
    cool, 
    yeah, 
    the 

    baby
    sitter's 
    here 

    Verse 2
    Her 
    boyfriend 
    is 
    Tom 
    but 
    we 
    call 
    him 
    the 

    king 
    of 
    ro
    mance 

    He 
    wears 
    an 
    American 
    flag 
    on 
    the 
    butt 
    of 
    his 

    ripped 
    up 
    pants 

    And 
    will 
    they 
    get 
    married 
    with 

    kids 
    of 
    their 
    own? 

    He 
    says 
    "Not 
    if 
    she's 
    going 
    to 

    college 
    we 
    won't," 

    And 
    he 
    kisses 
    her, 
    oh 

    Someday 
    I'll 
    have 
    boyfriend 
    just 
    like 
    that 

    Chorus 2
    She's 
    the 
    best 
    one 
    that 
    we've 
    ever 
    had 

    She 
    sits 
    on 
    her 
    hair 

    And 
    she's 
    tall 
    as 
    my 
    dad 

    And 
    she 
    got 
    mad 
    at 
    dinner 
    when 

    Tom 
    drank 
    beer 

    But 
    peace, 
    man, 
    cool, 
    hey, 
    the 

    baby
    sitter's 
    here 

    Bridge 1
    And 
    we 
    all 
    went 
    to 
    see 
    her 
    go 

    dance 
    at 
    the 
    high 
    school 

    We 
    made 
    her 
    big 
    card 

    And 
    she 
    told 
    us 
    that 
    she'd 
    be 
    the 

    unicorn 
    wearing 
    the 
    pink 
    leo
    tard 

    And 
    there 
    she 
    was 
    leaping 
    up 

    just 
    like 
    she 
    said, 

    With 
    sparking 
    horn 
    coming 
    out 
    of 
    her 
    head 

    And 
    she's 
    oh...oh 
    oh 
    uh 
    oh 

    can't 
    wait 
    to 
    give 
    her 
    card, 

    can't 
    wait 
    to 
    give 
    her 
    the 
    card 

    She's 
    the 
    best 
    one 

    OK, 
    so, 
    the 
    play 
    was 
    called 
    the 
    unicorn, 

    And 
    she 
    was 
    the 
    unicorn, 

    So 
    That 
    means 
    the 
    star...was 

    my 
    babysitter! 


    Verse 3
    But 
    it's 
    Saturday 
    night, 

    can't 
    sleep, 
    and 
    we're 
    watching 
    the 
    news 

    She 
    says, 
    "Do 
    me 
    favor, 

    Don't 
    go 
    with 
    guy 
    who 
    would 

    make 
    you 
    choose," 

    And 
    don't 
    understand, 
    and 
    she 

    tries 
    to 
    explain 

    And 
    all 
    that 
    mascara 
    runs 
    down 
    in 
    her 
    pain 

    Cause 
    she's 
    leaving 
    me, 
    oh 

    Chorus 3
    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 
    picture 
    for 

    college 
    next 
    year 

    So 
    hush 
    now, 
    peace, 
    man, 
    the 

    baby
    sitter's 
    here 

    The 
    best 
    baby
    sitter's 

    here. 


    We 
    will 
    see 
    the 
    spinache. 

    Just 
    sometimes, 
    though, 
    not 
    all 
    the 
    time

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
