Oingo Boingo - You Got Your Baby Back lyrics

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)
