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



(spoken)

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)
