Dear Abbie I'd write you this letter
But your address is unknown
I'd tell you the world ain't no better
Since you left us all alone
Dear Abbie I wish they would let you
Come back to us again
And truly I hope they don't get you
And slam you in the pen
Partners in crime
In the streets of Chicago
Where are they now
They're all gone free
All love to see you
And tell you hello
But you live
In secrecy
See where Tom is planning to join the government
Rennie says this friend of his is probably Heaven sent
Jerry's into therapy and says he feels content
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Lee is back on welfare John's up in the East
Dave is still resistin' he hasn't changed the least
Bobby could run Oakland if the prisoners were released
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Dear Abbie I wish they would let you
Come back to us again
And truly I hope they don't get you
And slam you in the pen
Partners in crime
In the streets of Chicago
Where are they now
They're all gone free
All love to see you
And tell you hello
But you live
In secrecy
