They're coming to take me away ha-ha!
They're coming to take me away,
Back to my crayons and coloring books,
That's how I'll pass my day.

With pills of light green and medium red,
They match my crayons so well,
Writing my poems in rainbow colors,
With always a story to tell.

I directed the traffic, and I did it well
Said the guys in the little white van,
"We're taking you from this intersection
Back to the house of mental correction,
The one we call "Happy Land"

The people here are nuts for sure,
I'm the only one that's fine,
I play their game and act insane,
Just laughing and doing my time.

Over there in the corner,
Sits crazy LongJohn, he thinks he's a sailor,
Next to him scratching his rear
Is that poet Balladeer.

We're really not that crazy ya know,
In fact we're really just fine,
Compared to the other nuts you've known
Like Andrew Scott and Sunshine.

And then think of yourself,
Ya never quite know,
Ya gotta be nuts,
You're reading my poem?

if they take me away i figure
it will be the best vacation i ever had
someone to clean and cook for me
no laundry no dishes
just dust bunnies under the bed
with the monsters
who only come out
when the light turns off

Well, you got the dust part down, Toe!

Yes, we are thought we were a little tetched until you showed up. Now we realize we're all fine! Thanks for showing us what a real nutcase looks like. We appreciate it

Ah, yes
I remember a time
When the nuts ran free
Spun by squirrels in a cage
And crayons were me

I remember it fondly
This truth I'll not refute
For the time I was King
In the PIP's own Stute

But as for you being O-Kay
This question I'll make
Just who's prescription
Did you take?

Nuts to you, my friend.

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."
