Lyrics

Lisa:

We have our own suggestions for the new nanny. Would you like to hear them?

Homer:

You have my undivided attention.

(Homer's brain says otherwise as it is playing a "Steamboat Willie" version of "Turkey in the Straw," which he hums along with.)

Marge:

Well, I'd like to hear your suggestions.

Lisa:

(to Bart) Maestro, if you please.

(Bart presses the play button on a boombox, which starts playing a cheery tune.)

Lisa (cont'd):

If you wish to be our sitter,

Please be sweet and never bitter,

Help us with math and book reports.

Bart:

Might I add: "Eat my shorts".

Lisa:

Bart!

Bart:

Just cuttin' through the treacle.

Lisa:

If Maggie's fussy, don't avoid her.

Bart:

Let me get away with moider.

Lisa:

Teach us songs and magic tricks.

Homer:

Might I add: no fat chicks.

Marge:

Homer!

Lisa:

The nanny we want

Is kindly and sage.

Homer:

And one who will work

For minimum wage.

Lisa:

Hurry, nanny,

Things are grim.

Grampa:

I'll do it!

Bart and Lisa:

Anyone but him!
