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. And...

They're coming to take me away, ha ha.
They're coming to take me away, ho ho.
Hee hee, ha ha, to the happy home
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 ha!

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?
I know you laughed, I heard you laugh.
You laughed and laughed and laughed
and then you left and now
you know I'm utterly mad. And...

They're coming to take me away, ha ha.
They're coming to take me away, ho ho.
Hee hee, ha ha, to the funny farm
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 ha!

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 ASPCA, you mangy mutt! Ha!

They're coming to take me away, ha ha.
They're coming to take me away, ho ho.
Hee hee, ha ha, to the the happy home
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 ha!
To the funny farm,
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 ha!
To the happy home....
