Sparks - Kidnap Lyrics
Kidnap
Kidnap
Somebody's son
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?"
"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)

Sparks Kidnap Comments
Incroyable que cette petite merveille ne soit pas sortie sur un album! Encore un trésor caché de Sparks! ❤
This is so cool! Love it! Really something to have a great laugh at.
WHY do the Guys hide so much wonderful material?
"And Big Sid told them what to do"
I only wish the finishing part had been different, this is actually dreadful. What about just a spoken "I'll just tell them; I get by, yeah I get by"? Or something!
🤔
Would love to hear this on the next tour.
John Mc Manus, Me too!
Sparks has such a great collection of unused songs. Thanks for uploading
Jose Rogan, They must have material for a double album it seems like. "Brilliant demos and amazing outtakes".
This is so classically Sparks in subject matter, and a very fun tune. A song like this could have fit right in on Introducing, I wonder why it was cut?
The "European Song Contest" ending?
Please could you tell me the name of the Japanese CD??
A japanese SHM-CD of Introducing Sparks from about 10 years ago. This studio version is much better.
The other half of the harmony vocal is none other than Ron "Golden-Throat" Mael.
