Title They're coming to take me away ha-haaa!
Lyrictext

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk

Well, you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind

And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time

And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haa

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I had said
That losing you would make me flip my lid

Right? You know you laughed
I heard you laugh, you laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left

But now you know I'm utterly mad

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds

Ha, well, you just wait
They'll find you yet and when they do
They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt!

And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
