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
oh my, yes...
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?
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,
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

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!
~~EM~~
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...

he did another one called 'Bats in my Belfry" that I loved, but can't find the lyrics to....
My 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!
doxie, it was done by a guy named Napoleon the 14th in the late 1960's or very early 1970's......a real kook
Rath I remember a very creepy Halloween party at a friends while in high school, and we all kept listening to the song over and over...and then went outside into the woods, and got totally freaked out........
and....then there was the backwards version...
Put the words and music together, and it's incredibly creepy. The guy was good.
frankly due to that experience, I never listened to it again....
Wow.
A lot of people have covered it as well.
How random.
Or more random that I know it?
It still creeps me out to hear it in my head right now, so thanks, Elphaba!
sorry Rath, I was just talking to a customer, and said the name and she said....'Nooooooo, now I'll be hearing it all night!"....
