Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to go 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,

Ooh..I do!
They´re coming to take me away,
Haha, they´re coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, 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 haaa
Who's stoned? I am merely travelling incognito.

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
And laughed and laughed
And then you left,
And now you see 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
RIGHT?

I got to sing that at the end of the one-act i was in my junior year. I run around stage and through the audience, then they came and put a straight jacket on me and pulled me off stage.
Good times!

I know the song and the melody, but have no blasted idea where it's from? Someone care to enlighten me?
But now I've got it in my head...

Posted: 11/1/05 at 6:26pmMy uncle is only a few years older than me, and when I was in middle school I used to go to my grandparents' and his house after school until my mother got home from work. He had this 45 and it used to creep the hell out of me!
