Keith Munslow - The Great Misbehaver Lyrics

Frankie Junior was a wild child.
His parents were at their wits end
Because every babysitter who watched Frankie
Never came back again

First sitter was Miss Suzy
She was so kind and so nice and so sweet
But just one night watching Frankie
Sent her screamin' down the street

Well, they called on Miss Nancy
She had patience and a heart of gold
But she just couldn't take it
Made her leave before the night got old

'Cause Frankie Jr. was the Great Misbehaver
And that could not be denied
Every sitter in town, Frankie wore them down.
No matter how hard they tried

Then there was Flo and Freddie
Tina and Teddy
Billy and Betty and Ben
But after one hour with Frankie
They all swore they'd never babysit again

But then one night, just when Frankie thought
He'd won the babysitter war
Mom and Dad and Frankie heard
Someone knocking on their front door

It was Grandma to the rescue
She smiled and said, "I'll take it from here".
Frankie swallowed hard
But his folks were grinning ear to ear

She made cookies, she told stories
And she let him stay up 'til ten
But Frankie didn't push his luck
He wanted Grandma to babysit again

So when you need a babysitter
Who won't put up with any tricks
Grandmas are the ones who know
There ain't nothing love can't fix
