They’re Coming To Take Me Away Ha, Ha
Jerry Samuels, 1966· Novelty / Silly / Funny Songs · p.452
(The only accompaniment to this song is a tambourine going “Ker-Chunk”)
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-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
You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I 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-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 ha-haaa ho-ho hee-hee
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
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!
