[Jenny:]
Hello, my name is Jenny Parker and these kids are my crew
We’re in a lot of trouble and I’m not sure what to do
See it all started, when our phones made a switch
Lola lied to the parents, she’s been a real witch
Kid snuck out, the kitchen caught fire
The car got towed, all because she’s a liar
[Bobby:]
Now these bad guys are chasing us
[Katy:]
We almost just died
[Emily:]
I got a tattoo
[Lola:]
Can you that one slide?
[Jenny:]
This girl is ruining my life, my job, my reputation
And if we ever get home, I’m gonna need a vacation
[Crowd:]
Yeah tell ’em girl
[Jenny:]
But no matter what, I won’t be a quitter
Gonna care for these kids, ’cause I’m a babysitter
[Kids:]
She ain’t no quitter
She’s the babysitter
[DJ:]
She ain’t no quitter
[Kids:]
She ain’t no quitter
[DJ:]
She’s the babysitter
[Kids:]
She’s the babysitter
She’s the babysitter
She ain’t no quitter
She’s the babysitter
[DJ:]
She ain’t no quitter
[Kids:]
She’s the babysitter
She’s the babysitter
[Lola:]
Hold up just a minute, that’s not the straight scoop
This girl’s so uptight, she’s all tied in a loop
[DJ:]
Looks like we have ourselves a battle of the babysitters! Ha-ha
[Lola:]
Uh, let’s rewind this movie an hour or two
The kid snuck out, I didn’t have a clue
[Zac:]
Yeah. That’s true
[Lola:]
OK, I admit it, I don’t follow rules
I’m not good with kids, I’m not good at school
It wasn’t my plan to steal a car
Or end up in jail or take it this far
It’s true, I lied, but nobody’s died
And these kids are having an incredible ride
[Jenny:]
You think you know it all, but you don’t know me
See I’m more than just Miss Spelling Bee
[Lola:]
Wanna be a real artist
Take pictures, get gritty
On your first night out in the big, bad city
You’re a cool girl, Jenny
But I’m pretty cool too
[Kids:]
Go, Lola. Go, Lola
[Lola:]
In fact, I’m just as a great as a
Babysitter as you, ha
[Jenny:]
She’s right. I’m smart and I do follow rules
I work real hard, and I care about school
There’s a time for fun, to let go and climb trees
But I am a real artist, everybody say “Cheese”
[All:]
We’re ain’t no quitters
We’re the babysitters
[DJ:]
They ain’t no quitters
[All:]
They ain’t no quitters
[DJ:]
Yeah she’s the babysitter
[All:]
They’re the babysitters
They’re the babysitters
They ain’t no quitters
[DJ:]
No cap
[All:]
They’re the babysitters
They’re the babysitters
They ain’t no quitters
They’re the babysitters
They’re the babysitters
We ain’t no quitters
We’re the babysitters
[Lola:]
That’s right
[All:]
We ain’t no quitters
We’re the babysitters
We’re the babysitters
They ain’t no quitters
They’re the babysitters
A Night of Chaos and Camaraderie
“We’re The Babysitters” by Sabrina Carpenter bursts with youthful energy and witty storytelling, inviting listeners into a wild, unforgettable night of babysitting gone awry. Through the playful banter between Jenny, Lola, and their crew, the song captures the chaos of last-minute mishaps, misunderstandings, and the struggle to balance responsibility with fun. Jenny’s determination clashes with Lola’s rebellious spirit, setting the stage for a musical showdown that highlights their differences—and surprising similarities.
Embracing Imperfection and Teamwork
Underneath the comedic misadventures, the lyrics reveal deeper themes of growth, forgiveness, and teamwork. Both Jenny and Lola are flawed but learn from each other, ultimately realizing that being a great babysitter is about caring, adapting, and not giving up—even when things spiral out of control. The catchy chorus, echoed by the kids and DJ, cements the message: they may make mistakes, but they’re not quitters.
