Topic: Babysitting Baby
I can't count the times I've used this trick, but on my grand-kids since I started playing after my children were older. Guitars and creative minds make great babysitting tools. Here it is if you want a listen: https://soundcloud.com/jets60/babysitting-baby
Babysitting Baby By Jeff Gilpin

Intro
[A] [A7]
[D]Can’t under[G]stand why my [E]baby’s [A]crying
[D]Can’t under[G]stand why it’s [E]making me [D]laugh [A]
[D]Shaking my [G]head be[E]cause there’s no [A]denying
[D]Sticking my [G]neck out like a [E]big [Em11]gir[D]affe
She [A]don’t want to [A7]eat she [D]don’t want to [D7]play
She [A]don’t want a [A7]story or [D]two [D7]
She [F#7]don’t want a bath she [Bm]don’t want some candy
And [E]I don’t know what I should [A]do
[D]Play her a [G]song a [E]little bit of [A]nonsense
[D]Making up [G]words as they [E]come in my [D]head [A]
[D]Finally she [G]stops to [E]give me her [A]own two cents
That [D]old Bronx [G]cheer that no [E]words could [Em11]have [D]said
[A]So I [A7]get her to [D]make up some [D7]words
[A]Adding to a [A7]song that means [D]nothing [D7]
[F#7]Waiting all day until her [Bm]thoughts have concurred
Got to [E]finish the song and [A]I’m not [A7]bluffing
[D]Who’s that [G]singing that [E]nonsense [A]song
[D]Making up [G]words so that [E]time flies [D]by [A]
[D]Can’t wait to [G]short or I [E]can’t wait to [A]long because
I’ll [D]do what it [G]takes to stop my [E]baby [Em11]from [D]cry – ing
Solo on the chorus/bridge chords - [A] [A7] [D] [D7] [A] [A7] [D] [D7] [F#7] [Bm] [E] [A] [A7]
[D]Finish the [G]song it’s a [E]freaking [A]masterpiece
[D]Sitting with my [G]baby to [E]help stop her [D]cry – [A]ing
[D]Play a few [G]bars and her [E]eyes start to [A]drooping she’s
A[D]bout nodding [G]off with a [E]smile in [Em11]her [D]eyes ….[D] [G] [E] [A] [D]
