Way back when I was a little bitty boy in a box Under the In the corner of the In the house half a block down the street from Jerry's Shop You know the
anyway, Back then life was swell And everything was peachy!
Except of course for the fact That every single My mother would make me a big ol' of kraut for breakfast
Big bowl of kraut! single mornin'! It was me crazy! And I to my mom, I said, "Hey, mom, up with all the sauerkraut?"
And my dear, mother, She just at me like a cow looks At an train And she right down next to me And she said, "IT'S FOR YOU!"
And then she tied me to the And stuck a funnel in my And force fed me but sauer kraut I was twenty-six and a half years old
That's when I swore someday, Someday I get outta that basement And travel to a magical, far place, the sun is always shining And the air smells like warm beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
Where the and the lepers Play their all day long And anyone on the Will gladly shave your for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It wasn't at all before my dream came true Because the next day, A local radio had this contest To see who could guess the number Of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's
I was off by three, but I still won the grand That's right, a class, one-way ticket To Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Oh You know, I'd never On a real before And I tell ya It was really
Except I had to sit Between two large Albanian With severe body odor And the little kid in of me Kept up the whole time The attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Shore And, oh yeah, of the airplane engines burned out And we went into a And into a hillside And the exploded in a giant fireball And died! for me. You know why?
'Cause I had my tray up And my seat back in the full position Had my tray up And my seat back in the upright position Had my table up And my seat back in the upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I from the twisted, burnin', wreckage I crawled on my hands and For full days Draggin' along my big leather And my bag And my tenor And my 12-pound ball And my lucky, lucky autographed snorkel!
But finally I arrived at the famous Albuquerque Inn! the towels are oh so fluffy! And you can eat your out of the ashtrays if you wanna It's okay, clean!
Well, I checked my room, And I turned the A/C, And I on the SpectraVision, And I'm just to eat little chocolate mint on my pillow That I so very, very much, When there's a knock on the door
Well, now, who that be? I say, "Who is it?" No "Who is it?" no answer "WHO IS IT!?" They're not sayin'
So finally, I go And I the door, And as I suspected, It's big, fat hermaphrodite a flock of seagulls, haircut, And only one Oh, man, I hate it I'm right!
So, anyway, He bursts my room, And he grabs my snorkel, And I'm like, "Hey, you have that! That snorkel's been just like a to me!"
And like, "Tough!" And I'm like, "Give it!" And like, "Make me!" And I'm like, "'Kay!"
So I his leg And he grabbed my And I bit off his ear And he chewed off my And I took out his And he gave me a colonic Yes indeed-y, you better it!
And in the middle of it all The phone got off the hook And twenty later, I a familiar voice And you know it said? I'll tell ya it said!
It said, "If you'd to make a call, hang up and try again If you help, Hang up and dial your operator If you'd to make a call hang up and try again. If you help Hang up and then your operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a story short, He got away my snorkel But I a solemn vow Right and there I would not rest, I not sleep for an instant, the one-nostrilled man Was to justice But first, I to buy some donuts
So I got in my car And I over to the donut shop And I walked on up to the guy behind the And he says, "Yeah, want?"
I said, "You got any donuts?" He said, "Nah, we're outta donuts." I say, "Well, you got any donuts?" He said, "No, we're jelly donuts." I said, "You got any cream-filled donuts?" He said, "No, we're Bavarian cream-filled donuts." I said, "You got any rolls?" He said, "No, outta cinnamon rolls!" I said, "You got any fritters?" He said, "No, we're apple fritters!" I said, "You got any claws?" He said, "Wait a minute, go check."
"Naw, outta bear claws!"
I said, "Well, in case In that case, do you have?" He says, "All I got now Is box of one dozen Starving weasels." I said, "Okay, I'll that."
So he me the box, And I up the lid, And the jump out And they immediately onto my face And start me all over
Oh, man, were just goin' nuts! were tearin' me apart! You know, I think it was just that time that a little started goin' through my head I believe it went a little somethin' this:
DOH! Get 'em off me! Get 'em off me! Ohhh! No, get 'em off, get 'em off! Oh, oh God, oh God! Oh, get 'em off me! Oh, oh God! Ah, aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
I ran out into the With these flesh-eating All my face, my arms all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', a constipated wiener dog
And as luck have it, That's when I ran into The of my dreams Her was Zelda
She was a enthusiast, With a overbite, And the color of strained peaches
I'll forget The first thing She to me She said, "Hey, You've got on your face."
That's when I knew it was true
We inseparable after that Aw, we ate We together We even shared the piece Of mint-flavored floss The was our burrito
So we got married, And we us a house And had two children, and Superfly Oh we were so very, very, happy, oh yeah
But then, one night, said to me, she said, "Sweetie Do you wanna join the Columbia Club?" I said, "Woah! on now, baby! I'm just not for that kind of a commitment!"
So we up, And I never saw her But that's the way things go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, things started up for me, Because about a later I finally my lifelong dream right, I got me a part-time job At the Sizzler!
I even made of the month After I put out that fire my face!
Aw yeah, was pretty jealous Of me that I was a lot of attitude.
Okay, one time, I was out in the lot, to remove my excess earwax With a pencil, When I see guy Marty Tryin' to carry a big ol' Up the all by himself.
So I-I say to him, I say, "Hey, you me to help you with that?" And Marty, he rolls his eyes And goes, "No, I you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw!"
So I did.
And he gets all indignant on me He's like, "Hey, man, I was just sarcastic!" Well, that's great. How was I supposed to know I'm not a reader, For out loud
Besides, now got A really nickname - Torso-Boy! So he complaining about?
Say, that me of another amusing anecdote guy comes up to me on the street And he me he hasn't had a bite In days
Well, I knew he meant, But to be funny, I took a big Out of his vein And yelling and screaming And all over, And I'm like, "Hey, on, don'tcha get it?" But he keeps rolling around on the sidewalk, and screaming, "Aaaahhhh! AaaaahhhhOhhhhh! Aaaaahhhh!" You know, completely The irony of the whole Man, some people just can't a joke, you know?
Anyway, um... was I? Kinda lost my of thought.
Uh, well, uh, OK, anyway, I-I know it's of a roundabout way Of it, but, I guess the whole point I'm tryin' to here is
I SAUERKRAUT!
That's all I'm really to say And, by the way, if one day you happen to up And find yourself in an quandry, Full of and self-doubt And wracked the pain and isolation Of your pitiful existence, At least you can a small bit of comfort In knowing that somewhere out in this ol' mixed-up universe of ours, There's a little place Albuquerque!
