Papa come quick, jody's gone to the city
What we gonna do now that jody's gone
She left a note on the tv and papa, it's a pity
What we gonna do now that jody's gone

Well mama's been cryin' in the kitchen since mornin'
She cried right through "as the world turns"
I seen it myself and papa is a bitchin'
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned

Gas up the old ford, get out the road map
They got a head start, about a half a day
Load up the shotgun, put it in the gun rack
Jody's with chico down in east l.a.

Well it must've been a wild-eyed, silver-tongued schemer
A girl like a jody, don't think for herself
Him and that harley and his dang jalapena
Smokin' that stuff will make you hurt yourself

Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Hey, papa come quick
Hey, papa come on

Well mama's been cryin' in the kitchen since mornin'
She cried right through "as the world turns"
I seen it myself and papa is a bitchin'
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned
