6. Lyrics

They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 haaaa!

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, 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, hee hee, 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
And they're coming to take me away, ha haaaa!

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,
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 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 haaaa!
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 haaaa!
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time...

7. How about the "I'm glad they took you away"

piece on his LP sung by the woman with the German accent?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

8. I remember that.

10. I understand that the guy who did that song...

...was a Philadelphia talent agent who had actually spent time in a mental hospital.

PROPOSITION FOR DEBATE: That They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa! was actually the first rap record. ;-)
