[Verse 1]
Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go berserk
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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 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
[Verse 3]
I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds?
Huh? 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!
[Chorus 3]
And, they're coming to take me away ha haaa
They're coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haa
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 haaaa!
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
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats...
