Death Dance Of The Frog Fish Lyrics
Original Author: "Napoleon XIV"
_____________________________________________________
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go berserk?
Well. . .
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, 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!
And so you laughed
You laughed when I had said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right. . .
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, 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-haaa!
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind, unselfish loving deeds?!!
Hah. . .
They'll find you yet
And when they do they'll
Put you in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!
And. . .
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!
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!
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!
I think this song is about someone begging to another person not to leave them because he/she is being taken away. IDK. Just my thought on the song.
Yay first Comment
Jeez, when/where did Stone Sour cover this song? I remember hearing this on the oldie's station all the time when I was growing up! I actually want to hear their version out of morbid curiosity...
I found this cover in "Click Here To Exit". Seemed to be a DEMO album in which Stone Sour was named as "SuperEgo".
As you will see below, it has some tracks included on their 2001 DEMO. Tracklist is something like this:
- Omega
- Get Inside (this is an unedited version, guitar solo is quite different)
- Kill Everybody
- Ending Beginning
- The Wicked (seems to be an alternative version with voices and introduction)
- Idle Hands
- Talk (this is like a break, voices only)
- Road Hog
- Dead Weight (the first part of this is another song now known as "Rules Of Evidence").
- Bother (the same as happened with "Get Inside", unedited even clearer than the final result).
- All I Know
- Silent Type
- The Dance Of The Frog Fish (as I wrote before, this is the Napoleon XIV's cover called "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!", just a few words changed and it includes some voices on intro and outro).
It's talking to a dog not a person actually. That's what the original version intended, on it's album cover it shows a man with an empty leash looking surprised. Hence the mangy mutt part.

This is the song which is played every time before Stone Sour starts to play live.
