Only from the mind of Warren Zevon

by Pat McManamon on August 21, 2009

in McManamon, What the heck?

Basket Case, by the man himself … Now this is art …

My baby is a basket case
A bi-polar 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 out of me
She's gonna make a madman out of 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

Bab-bab Bab-Bab Bab-Bab Basket Case
Bab-bab Bab-Bab Bab-Bab Basket Case

My baby's gonna celebrate
I'm being dragged through the nut house gates
Got my straight jack on and I'm taking her place
My baby is a basket case

She finally made a madman out of me
She finally made a madman out of me

My baby made a madman out of me.

She finally made a madman out of me

She made a madman
Madman, out of me

If it was "only from the mind of Warren Zevon," then Carl Hiaasen would not have received a co-writing credit. Now on the other hand, Joyce B's post … that was only from the mind of Joyce B.
