Hey, you’ve got an unnerving face
And twitching eyes like Norman Bates
You got a cigarette, eye on a mirror
Farm boy brown gas station sweeper
You took that girl, you put the saddle on her
Just thirteen, she’s her daddy’s apple
And she don’t know you’re the kidnapper, uh-huh
Hey, your Daddy’s Whiskey Sam
He’s got bloodshot eyes like Ray Milland
Playing solitaire, your Mother fidgets
You wanna be rich but you won’t dig ditches
She bitches like a brat, she got the money
People breaking their necks and she thinks it’s funny
Where’s your old man now? Nobody’s home, uh-huh

Kidnapper

Hey, they call you Skinny Jim
And nobody knows the boat you’re in
They dipped your tail when you were back in school
Well, you’re a real strange cake but your nobody’s fool
So you took that girl and you put the saddle on her
Just thirteen, she’s fresh out of diapers
And she don’t know you’re the kidnapper, uh-huh
She don’t know you’re the kidnapper, uh-huh
I said “She don’t know you’re the kidnapper,” uh-huh

The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Kidnapper" means the words set to the music of Kidnapper, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Blondie. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Kidnapper and the lyrics to Kidnapper are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Blondie who came here looking just for the lyrics to Kidnapper, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
