Oingo Boingo - You Got Your Baby Back Lyrics
They gave you such a hard timeWhen they took your babe awayYou heard it on the airwavesThat she joined the slaOh the stories, tape recordingsJust when things seemed at their worstThen the good lord heard you callingAnd he gave back patty hearstYou got your baby backPoor girl is out of the sackSilly young thing, was just a flingLike any teenager would doBut daddy is here now, to buy you some clothesAnd maybe a new cadilliacYou got your baby backWhen she started to flee, you gave food for freeBut you knew that you wouldnt go brokeThe day in the bank, the sporting, the prank (? )Was just a fraternity jokeYou got your babe, thats no lieThanks to the old fbiTime to relate and sit by a poolAnd maybe shell go back to schoolAnd daddy is here now, to buy you some clothesAmd maybe a new cadilliacYou got your baby back(spoken)Why patty babyI knew deep down in my heart that youd be coming back to your papaAnd honey, I didnt believe a thing they said in all those silly little oldNewspapers,Especially the ones I didnt own.But dont worry darling, well be keeping your supper warmWhen she started to flee, you gave food for freeBut you knew that you wouldnt go brokeThe day in the bank, the sporting, the prankWas just a fraternity joke.You got your baby back, poor girl is out of the sackSilly young thing, was just a fling like any teenager would doBut daddy is here now, to buy you some clothes and maybe a new cadilliacYou got your baby back (repeat three times)
