I'm a prom night dumpster baby
In the mid 60's the was a song and part of it was
'they're coming to take me away hehe haha
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time'
Geez that song used to scare the crap out of me and no I don't know why it popped into my head. Wonder if it still creeps me out. :bwuhaha:
 
Maybe it was the mention of Dr Demento the other day, That's one of those that will stick for about a week.
 
im NOT old enough to remember a b-side for that... let alone a b-side for anything else....
 
Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because 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 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 ha!

The flip side is the earliest known "Backwards masking" according to John Lennon.
 
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 ha!

partial of 'dog' verse

But you just wait, they'll find you yet
And when they do they'll put you in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!
And! . . .

got the 45 somewhere! bought it in the 60's when it was new. The artist was Napolean XVII or some such roman numeral.
