Diary of a Lazy Babysitter

It's another lazy day
My room has had its fill
of darkness and its play
The baby's sleepin' still

I'll run on up the stairs
and pour my morning tea
that is if no one cares-
I'll flip on the T.V.

Watchin' all the game shows
(I know 'em all by heart)
When 11 quickly goes
I guess it's time to start

So shut the T.V. off
and turn the music on
It's time to do my job
(right after this next song)

But first I gotta eat
so throw some bread together
Man, I gotta kill this heat
go downstairs to cooler weather

...I must of dozed off awhile ago
Gee, I wonder if the kids are up? 
Oh I'm sure they'll be alright
while I pour me one more cup

It's already goin' on 5!
Where HAS the morning gone?
If the kids will watch T.V.
I'll just get the dinner on

At 5 I shall retire
only two more hours to go
there's a rumor I'll get FIRED
but for WHAT I'll never know
