You Got Your Baby Back

They gave you such a hard time
When they took your babe away
You heard it on the airwaves
That she joined the SLA
Oh the stories, tape recordings
Just when things seemed at their worst
Then the good Lord heard you calling
And he gave back Patty Hearst
You got your baby back
Poor girl is out of the sack
Silly young thing, was just a fling
Like any teenager would do
But daddy is here now, to buy you some clothes
And maybe a new cadilliac
You got your baby back
When she started to flee, you gave food for free
But you knew that you would'nt go broke
The day in the bank, the sporting, the prank (?)
Was just a fraternity joke
You got your babe, that's no lie
Thanks to the old FBI
Time to relate and sit by a pool
And maybe she'll go back to school
And Daddy is here now, to buy you some clothes
Amd maybe a new cadilliac
You got your baby back
Why Patty baby
I knew deep down in my heart that you'd be coming back to your papa
And honey, I did'nt believe a thing they said in all those silly little old
Newspapers
Especially the ones I didn't own
But don't worry darling, We'll be keeping your supper warm
When she started to flee, you gave food for free
But you knew that you wouldn't go broke
The day in the bank, the sporting, the prank
Was just a fraternity joke
You got your baby back, poor girl is out of the sack
Silly young thing, was just a fling like any teenager would do
But daddy is here now, to buy you some clothes and maybe a new cadilliac
You got your baby back (repeat three times)
