They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Ha (with lyrics) ::: Halloween

They're Coming To Take Me Away a hit novelty song by Napoleon XIV (aka Jerry Samuels) it reached no. 4 in the UK chart which fits just right for Halloween and Trick or Treat ...
It caused a lot of controversy in the States due to the references to mental illness although in the UK owing to ignorance of American stuff (A.S.P.C.A etc) it was just seen as a funny record. Just wanted to do something for Halloween (which we barely new about 20 yrs ago) I guess its all due to marketing by celebration card companies andToy Manufacturers to make the consumer spend their money willy nilly just another import from the US of A
I used mainly animated gifs just to try the effect out.

Lyrics

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk

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 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 they're coming to take me away ha haaa

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I 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 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
Ha! Well you just wait
They'll find you yet and when they do
They'll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt

And they're coming to take me away ha haaa
They're coming to take me away ha haaa ho ho hee hee
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
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!
