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 (chorus 1) They're coming to take me away, haha, they're coming to take me away, ho ho, heehee, 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 HAAAAA 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 (chorus 2) They're coming to take me away, haha, they're coming to take me away, ho ho, heehee, 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, HAHAAAAAAAAA Well, you just wait, they'll get you yet, and when they do, they'll put you in the ASPCA, you mangy MUTT, AND (chorus 1) (chorus 2) (chorus 1 trailing into mumbles in the distance)
