[Chorus]
Papa, come quick, Jody's gone to the city
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone?
She's left a note on the TV and, papa, it's a pity
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone?

[Verse 1]
Well, Mama's been cryin' in the kitchen since mornin'
She cried right through "As The World Turns"
I seen it myself and, papa, it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned

[Refrain]
Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start, about half a day
Load up the shotgun, put it in the gun rack
Jody's with Chico down in East LA

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
It must've been that wild-eyed, silver-tongued schemer
A girl like Jody don't think for herself
Him and that Harley and his damn Jalapena
Smokin' that stuff'll make you hurt yourself
[Bridge]
Papa, come quick
Papa, come quick
Papa, come quick
Papa, come on

[Chorus]
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?

[Refrain]
Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about a half a day
Stop at the Mobil, pump up the flat wheel
Jody and Chico and his ding dang deal

[Verse 3]
Mama's been cryin' in the kitchen since mornin'
She cried right through "As The World Turns"
I seen it myself and, papa, it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned
