Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged not to leave
Or else I'd go BEZERK?

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 take me away HA HA!
They're coming take me away HO HO HE HE 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 HA!

You thought it was a joke
And so you laugher, 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 take me away HA HA!
They're coming take me away HO HO HE HE 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 HA!

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 take me away HA HA!
They're coming take me away HO HO HE HE 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 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 HA!

    General Comment:This is most likely about someone's dog running away from home, and stress from this causes the guy to go insane.

    "Well you just wait, they'll find you yet
    And when they do they'll put you in
    The ASPCA you mangy mutt!"

    Besides the mangy mutt comment, the ASPCA is a center for prevention of cruelty to animals.

    General Comment:I like this song a lot. I wish I could tell you what it's about. I haven't listened to this song in a long time, but I remember clearly the night I first heard it. I thought it was strange, but by the end of the song I began loving it. And now I can't find it anywhere...
