lyrics

Two under two let me tell you what you’re missing sleepless nights night after night
a fear of flying but not because of terrorists diarrhea vomit and pee
a milking mechanism milking mommy’s mammaries
but tonight it’s all good yeah tonight it’s alright because we’ve got a babysitter
and I’m up here up on the stage singing my songs playing guitar
my old lady’s over there she’s sitting in a booth in a red plush booth having a drink
we’re living it up we’re out on the town we’re having a ball we’re painting the town
we’re letting our guard down because we’ve got a babysitter
and my left side pocket is aflutter aflitter incoming call from the babysitter
expecting the worst I don’t want to pick up because my buzz is kicking in I’m on my third cup
and for just a sliver of a night I don’t want to be Mr. Responsibility
But I’ve got to pick up because I’ve got to know is it is or is it isn’t copacetic in the home
babysitter says everything is fine but your boy Charlie Roy won’t stop crying
I say put him on the line I’ll stop him from crying by singing him his favorite nursery rhyme
it goes he’s having a dance party Charlie Roy he’s having a dance party
he’s gonna wiggle wiggle wiggle and jiggle jiggle jiggle
cuz he’s having a dance party Charlie Roy he’s having a dance party
and I’m up here I’m up on the stage I’m singing my songs I’m playing guitar
my old lady’s over there she’s sitting in a booth in a red plush booth she’s having a drink
we’re living it up we’re out on the town we’re having a ball we’re painting the town
we’re letting our guard down letting our guard down letting our guard down
because we got a babysitter

about

Derek Senn San Luis Obispo, California

I learned how to play guitar late in life. Then I decided to write songs and record them. For years I worked in the lo-fi tradition of home recording, which means I basically did everything myself & all songs were certified 100% free range, non-GMO, free trade, sustainably recorded organic. YUM! But now I record in proper studios and the music tastes even better! ... more
