My Baby's gone to Jail

My baby's gone to jail, she won't be out for quite a while
My baby's gone to jail, 'cause she set fire to my child
You know what she did? She charcoal grilled the kid

Then took a butane lighter to ignite the little shit!

All I'm saying is I think she's a psychopath
She threw a radiator into my sister's bath, and
I'm just praying, must I paint a picture?
All I'm hoping is that they don't convict her

My baby's gone to jail

She reads books to me by the Marquis De Sade
I'd like to reprimand her, but it's always hard
And she's a sado-masochist, an anarchistic arsonist
Manic-depressive Dadaist and she gets worse when she gets premenstrual
All I'm saying is she needs psychiatric care
She swallowed razor blades in truth or dare, and
All I'm saying is (Hey!) give her a break
You all know that we've all made mistakes

So what?
So what?
So what?
So what?

If they use the noose they'll crack her pretty neck
They'll singe her hair if she goes to the chair
And although she cut my Ovaltine with crack, I want her back!

My baby's gone to jail, she may be doing life
She took a twelve gauge shotgun and blew away my wife
I'll beg the judge to join her in a six foot cell
'Cause cruising singles bars is worse than hell!
All I'm saying is she's got this jealous streak
She saw my woman. And man, she really freaked
Took the chainsaw of love to say we're through
Cut off my wedding ring and took my finger too

My baby's gone to jail, my baby's gone
My baby's gone to jail, my baby's gone
My baby's gone to jail, my baby's gone
My baby's gone to jail, my baby's gone
So what?!
