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

(coda)
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
Cos cruising singles bars
Is worse than hell!

All I'm saying is
She's got this jealous streak
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...
So what?
