[Verse 1: LORETTA]
A nanny's only duty is to the children
To keep them swaddled in the safety of her care
With a fierce and iron will
She would fight and she would kill
If she's poked
She'll be provoked
And you just woke up
Mama...Bear
[Verse 2: LORETTA, BEN]
A nanny keeps her patience under pressure
(You'll never stop me, Nanny)
Forceful and resourceful as can be
(Don't make me laugh)
No matter what you might hurl toward her
She keeps the goddamn house in order
(I'm gonna get those kids)
Then you'll have to go through me
[Chorus: LORETTA]
For the sake of a child
I'd give my life completely
For the sake of a child
To hell and back I'd go
No, I won't bend and I won't break
There are precious lives at stake
With a fire, I shall face down any foe!
For the sake
For the sake
For the sake
For the sake of a child
[Verse 3: BEN, LORETTA]
What's a nanny? She's a ninny, she's a nothing
(I am their protector)
And no match for such a massive private dick
(Hm...massive?)
You can shut your little trap
It's time for nanny's final nap
And a rattle down your throat should do the trick
[LORETTA, spoken]
I knew it. It was you all along–you're the killer!
[BEN, spoken]
I'm not just the killer. I'm the father!
[LORETTA, spoken]
Oh...fuck
[BEN, spoken]
That's right. Those kids are mine, and you can't stand in the way!
[LORETTA, spoken]
Over my dead body
[Chorus 2: BOTH, BEN]
For the sake of a child
I'd give my life completely
(I'll take your life without a second thought)
For the sake of a child
To hell and back I'd go
For the sake, for the sake, for the sake
For the sake of a child
[LORETTA]
The craze in your gaze is bone-chilling
It's clear you've been serial killing
[BEN]
I did what I had to do
And now I'm about to do it to you!
See, you're just a baby butt-wiper
Disposable just like a diaper
[LORETTA]
They are mine to protect
[BEN]
I have to object
[LORETTA]
It's me that they need!
[BEN]
They grew from my seed!
[Chorus 3: BOTH]
Till' my last breath I take
I'll stay steadfast
For the sake of a child
You never will defeat me
For a child, to death I'd dare to go
Yes I'd lay my life at stake
With this solemn vow I make
I'd die before I ever let them go
[LORETTA]
For the sake...
[BEN]
For the sake...
[LORETTA]
For the sake...
[BEN]
For the sake
For the SAKE...
[LORETTA, spoken]
For the sake of a child
