You Got Your Baby Back Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

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)
