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)
