They're Coming to Take Me Away Songtext
von Lard

Remember when you ran away
I got on my knees and begged you not to leave ′cause I'd go berzerk?
Well, you left me anyhow and 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, he-he, ha-ha
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-ha

You thought it was 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

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


I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you paid 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

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

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

Your home, the one the bank foreclosed, you cried to me
Monogamy is the way we both must live or you′ll feel hurt
But, I see, I see there's someone new, your anxious poly-pure-bred coat was gone
Even gone at our place while I paid the rent, thanks

They′re coming to take me away, ha-ha
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, he-he, ha-ha
To the loony bin with "all you can eat" perscription drugs
Like Thorazine and lithium, electric shock and insulin
And they′re coming to take me away, ha-ha


They're coming to take me away, ha-ha
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, he-he, ha-ha
They′re coming to take me away, ha-ha
They′re coming to take me away, ho-ho, he-he, ha-ha

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

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

To the looney bin with "all you can eat" prescription drugs
Like Thorazine and lithium, electric shock and insulin
And they′re coming to take me away, ha-ha

Away, ha-ha
Away, away
Away, away

And they're coming to take me away, ha-ha
They're coming to take me away, ha-ha, he-he, ha-ha
They′re coming to take me away, ha-ha
They′re coming to take me away, ha-ha, he-he, ho-ho
Ho-ho, he-he, ha-ha, ho-ho, he-he, he-he, he-he, ha-ha

To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to se those nice men in their clean white coats
They′re coming to take me away, ha-ha
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit an smile and twiddle theit thumbs and toes
They're coming to take me away, ha-ha
To the looney bin with "all you can eat" prescription drugs
Like Thorazine and lithium, electric shock and insulin
They′re coming to take me away, ha-ha

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haa
Ha-ha-ha-haa
Haa-ha-haa-aaa-ah
Ah-ah-ah
