They're Coming to Take Me Away Lyrics

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 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!

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-haaa.
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-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
RSPCA you mangy mutt!
And,

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
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!
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!

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
yhey're coming to take me away!

They're Coming to Take Me Away Music Video 

Even the video is strange...

They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa - Napoleon XIV

Music video for the 1966 hit song "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa" by Napoleon XIV (Jerry Samuels). The video depicts the effect on the mental health of an individual after the break-up of his relationship. The main character addresses his ex-girlfriend and describes his descent into madness after she has left him. He has become so disturbed that he no longer obeys the normal laws of physics. He believes he is being pursued by men in white coats who are coming to take him away and welcomes them as an end to his misery. Anyone who has gone through a painful breakup and suffered resulting mental anguish can relate to this.. Thanks to all who helped. Enjoy!

This album has not only the "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haa" song, but several others by Napoleon XIV. It's not exactly politically correct, so avoid it if you're easily offended by pokes and jibes at the mentally ill.
