[Sparks - Kidnap lyrics]
Kidnap kidnap
Somebody's son
Kidnap kidnap
Counting on every one
On a smoggy day, just like today
But several years ago
I had walked until I realised
There wasn't nowhere to go
When this Pontiac pulled up to my side
"Sunny boy, wanna ride?"
They didn't wait for my reply
"Grab him, grab him
That's the kid bring him back to see Big Sid"
And I knew right then, this wasn't a game
If it was it was in very bad taste
Kidnap kidnap
Somebody's son
Kidnap kidnap
Going along for the ride
Well, they took me to a hideout in an old
Dry cleaning plant
And they sat my down and gagged
Me with a pair of underpants
I was scared I must admit, but
The worst was yet to come
When Big Sid yelled out
"You got the wrong man's son!"
"What do we do with him? What do we do?"
And Big Sid told them what to do
Send that ransom note post haste
To the President of the United States
Kidnap kidnap
Somebody's son
Kidnap kidnap
Counting on every one
In every city headline news
What, what, what, will the President do?
And I realised my fate was in
The hands of every American
Kidnap kidnap
Somebody's son
Kidnap kidnap
Counting on every one
Kidnap kidnap
Somebody's son
Kidnap kidnap
Counting on every one
Well, the president reported to
The nation that night
How everyone should give a little
To get him back alive
I was everybody's kid in a funny sort of way
It was democracy in action I saw that day
Send us a dollar send us a dime
Deduct it all come April time
And the ransom poured in dollars and dimes
The trade was made and I felt fine
Kidnap kidnap
Somebody's son
Kidnap kidnap
Maybe we're finally done
If you think that's all there is buddy
You'd be wrong they never caught Big Sid
Or any of his throng
And I'm no fool once a year
I give Big Sid a call
And they kidnap me again only
Now we split the haul
When someone wants to know what
I'll do with my life
I'll just tell them (I just will tell them)
I'll tell them (I just will tell them)
I'll get by i'll get by
I'll get by (Kidnap, kidnap, somebody's son)
Somebody's son
Kidnap kidnap
Counting on every one
On a smoggy day, just like today
But several years ago
I had walked until I realised
There wasn't nowhere to go
When this Pontiac pulled up to my side
"Sunny boy, wanna ride?"
They didn't wait for my reply
"Grab him, grab him
That's the kid bring him back to see Big Sid"
And I knew right then, this wasn't a game
If it was it was in very bad taste
Kidnap kidnap
Somebody's son
Kidnap kidnap
Going along for the ride
Well, they took me to a hideout in an old
Dry cleaning plant
And they sat my down and gagged
Me with a pair of underpants
I was scared I must admit, but

"What do we do with him? What do we do?"
And Big Sid told them what to do
