Basket Case Lyrics
by Warren Zevon
Key: G
Capo: 3 E
Intro: / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
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.
Ba-ba-ba-ba- basket case. (Ba-ba-ba-ba- basket case.)
Ba-ba-ba-ba- basket case. (Ba-ba-ba-ba- 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.
She made a madman, madman outta me.
She made a madman, madman outta me.
