Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well, it's Saturday night and the folks aren't home, you see
Well, I'm a nice little boy, so don't be afraid
Just kiss, hug, ooh yeah...
Baby, baby, do some baby sittin' with me
Baby sittin'... mmmmm... The baby's sleepin' so I don't think he'll make us any fuss
Well, there ain't nobody else at home to bother us
Well, a-turn down the lights, just to watch me ignite
Baby, baby, do some baby sittin' with me
Baby sittin'... mmmmm... Oh yeah, we're gonna tuck him in
Oh yeah, now it's my lovely girl
Oh yeah, you are my baby-babe
Oh yeah, let's do some baby sittin'Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooooooh Oh yeah, let's do some baby sittin'Oh yeah, let's do some baby sittin'Oh yeah, let's do some baby sittin'

The song "Baby sittin'" by Bobby Angelo & The Tuxedos depicts a young man trying to convince a girl to spend the evening with him while the baby is asleep upstairs. He repeatedly urges her to "do some baby sittin'" with him, assuring her that the child won't make any noise or disturb them. The lyrics suggest that the boy is attempting to seduce the girl, as he encourages her to kiss and hug him while he ignites her passion by turning down the lights.
The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody contrast with the suggestive lyrics, creating a playful, lighthearted tone. The boy's persistent invitations, paired with the girl's coy responses, add to the flirtatious mood. However, the song's underlying message is that young people need to be aware of the potential consequences of their actions, especially if they are in a position of responsibility, such as baby-sitting.
Overall, "Baby sittin'" is a fun, playful song that captures the carefree spirit of youth while also addressing the importance of being responsible and aware of the consequences of one's actions.
