Basket Case

by Warren Zevon and Carl Hiaasen My baby is a basket case A bipolar mama in leather and lace Face like an angel--she's a perfect waste My baby is a basket case Dracula's daughter, Calamity Jane Smoke on the water, water on the brain She's pretty as a picture--and totally crazed My baby is a basket case She's gonna make a madman outta me She's gonna make a madman outta me She's manic-depressive and schizoid, too The friskiest psycho that I ever knew We're paranoid lovers lost in space My baby is a basket case My baby's gonna celebrate I'm being dragged through the nuthouse gates Got my straitjacket on and I'm taking her place My baby is a basket case She finally made a madman outta me She finally made a madman outta me My baby made a madman outta me She finally made a madman outta me
