I was running cool and humming
I just never saw it coming
Must have missed the warning patter of those dangerous feet
In my wildest imagination
Never dreamt such devastation
Bulldozer or wrecking ball
The competition's beat

She's an engine of destruction
Little mistress of disruption
Though I truly love to wind her up 
Stand back and watch her go

She's a tiny blonde tornado
She's a three foot tall volcano
And I've got to find a way to rein her in before she blows

No one wants to do the dishes
So, we'll grant mother's dearest wishes
To go eating at a restaurant with the family she adores

Well, the staff aren't washing either 
But the table looks much cleaner
While the busboy's sweeping shards of broken china from the floor

She's an engine of destruction 
Tiny atom bomb eruption
She's a little teapot short and stout 
And way beyond the boil

Waging preschool insurrection 
Raining chaos all directions
Sugar, spice and all things nice 
They've found the perfect foil

Well, today has been a long one
But at last the PJs go on
And she wants her favorite Beatles song before she goes to bed

I concede and ask her which one
She suggests a demonstration
Just as bang, bang! Megan's plastic hammer comes down upon my head
Ow!

My darling, my cherub 
So small and so sweet
Sharpens her weapons while I am asleep   
My innocent, lovely sweet baby divine
Rips down the safety net every time

Overpay the babysitter
The poor thing never knew what hit her
'Cause she looks so calm and peaceful when she's planning her attack

And we watch Godzilla movies
It's so hard to find role models
For my golden-haloed angel with the pitchfork behind her back

She's an engine of destruction
Little mistress of disruption 
She keeps her daddy guessing 
Yeah, she keeps me on my toes 

She's a charmer and she's clever
And this stage won't last forever
But she'll probably spark another thousand 
Shocks before she goes
