Poor Little Patty Lyrics by Chris Miller (Composer), Nathan Tysen, Joshua Henry

Fugitive Songs: A Song Cycle (Studio Cast Recording)

2012

First grade of private school
Patty Hearst made people pay attention
Got the worst grades
The lowest of the low
But she had the deepest pockets in all of San Francisco
Imagine you′re Patty
Privileged and pretty
Poor little Patty
A life so blase
One day who's at her Berk′ley apartment
Hippies with guns there to take her away
Knock knock knock
Who's there
Who's there
Patty went bad with a bang at her door
Knock knock knock
Who′s there
Who′s thеre
You can't plan plan plan plan plan anymore
From the first shot on nightly nеws
Patty Hearst got everybody thinkin′
And the worst thought
Spinnin' through my head
Those urban guerillas
Shoulda snatched me instead
I wanna be Patty
I need an intervention
Why can′t I be Patty
I'm drawing a blank
While I′m doing time in a sleepy old suburb
Patty did time for robbing a bank
Knock knock knock
Who's there
Who's there
Patty went bad with a bang at her door
Knock knock knock
Who′s there
Who′s there
You can't plan plan plan plan plan anymore
Day to day (day to day)
Home alone (home alone)
I′m stuck or I'm stalling
Unlocked door (unlocked door)
Willing girl (willing girl)
And no one comes calling
Pick me up
Lock me up
I would have insisted
Change my name
Show the world
A girl they never knew existed
Yeah (yeah)
They never knew existed (they never knew existed)
Knock knock knock
Who′s there
Who's there
Patty went bad with a bang at her door (patty went bad)
Knock knock knock
Who′s there
Who's there
You can't plan plan plan plan plan anymore
