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-haaa!

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset,  
Swiftly fly the days.  
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,  
Blossoming even as we gaze.

Well, she’s looking like a queen in a sailor’s dream,  
And she don’t always say what she really means.

Sundown, you’d better take care,  
If I find you’ve been creeping round my back stair.

I know a mouse and he hasn’t got a house. I don’t know why. I call him Gerald.  
He’s getting rather old, but he’s a good mouse.

It’s a thief in the night  
To come and grab you  
It can creep up inside you  
And consume you  
A disease of the mind  
It can control you  
I feel like a monster

And they all left very happy in the morning.
