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)
