Way when I was just a little bitty boy in a box Under the In the corner of the In the house a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop You know the
anyway, Back then was going swell And was just peachy!
Except of course for the undeniable every single morning My mother would me a big ol' bowl of Sauer 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 looked at me like a cow looks At an train And she leaned right down to me And she said, "IT'S FOR YOU!"
And then she me to the wall And stuck a in my mouth And force fed me nothing but sauer Until I was twenty-six and a years old
when I swore that someday, Someday I would get that basement And to a magical, far away place, the sun is always shining And the air like warm root beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
the shriners and the lepers Play ukuleles all day long And anyone on the Will gladly your back for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It wasn't long at all before my came true Because the next day, A local radio station had this To see who could correctly the number Of in Leonard Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I still won the grand That's right, a first class, ticket To Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Oh You know, I'd been On a real airplane And I tell ya It was really
that I had to sit Between two large Albanian With excruciatingly body odor And the kid in back of me throwin' up the whole time The attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted And the in-flight was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, three of the airplane burned out And we went into a And crashed into a And the plane exploded in a giant And died! Except for me. You know
'Cause I had my tray up And my back in the full upright position Had my tray up And my seat in the full upright position Had my table up And my seat back in the full upright
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I crawled from the twisted, burnin', I crawled on my hands and For three days along my big leather suitcase And my bag And my saxophone And my bowlin' ball And my lucky, autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel!
But finally I arrived at the world Albuquerque Inn! the towels are oh so fluffy! And you can eat soup Right out of the ashtrays if you 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 That chocolate mint on my pillow I love so very, very much, When suddenly there's a knock on the
Well, now, who that be? I say, "Who is it?" No "Who is it?" no answer "WHO IS IT!?" They're not anything
So finally, I go And I the door, And as I suspected, It's big, fat hermaphrodite a flock of seagulls, haircut, And one nostril Oh, man, I it when I'm right!
So, anyway, He bursts my room, And he my lucky 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 my esophagus And I bit off his ear And he chewed off my And I out his appendix And he gave me a irrigation Yes indeed-y, you believe it!
And in the middle of it all The phone got knocked off the And seconds later, I heard a familiar And you know it said? tell ya what it said!
It said, "If you'd like to a call, hang up and try again If you help, up and then dial your operator If you'd like to a call hang up and try again. If you need up and then dial your operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a story short, He got away my snorkel But I made a vow Right and there That I not rest, I not sleep for an instant, Until the man Was brought to But first, I to buy some donuts
So I got in my car And I over to the donut shop And I on up to the guy behind the counter 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, outta jelly donuts." I said, "You got any Bavarian donuts?" He said, "No, we're outta cream-filled donuts." I said, "You got any rolls?" He said, "No, we're outta rolls!" I said, "You got any fritters?" He said, "No, we're outta fritters!" I said, "You got any claws?" He said, "Wait a minute, go check."
"Naw, outta bear claws!"
I said, "Well, in case In case, what do you have?" He says, "All I got now Is box of one dozen crazed weasels." I said, "Okay, I'll that."
So he me the box, And I up the lid, And the weasels out And they immediately latch my face And start me all over
Oh, man, they were just nuts! were tearin' me apart! You know, I think it was about that time that a little ditty started goin' my head I it went a little somethin' like 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 flesh-eating weasels All my face, my arms all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', Like a constipated dog
And as would have it, That's when I ran into The of my dreams Her name was
She was a enthusiast, With a overbite, And hair the of strained peaches
never forget The first thing She to me She said, "Hey, You've got weasels on face."
That's when I it was true love
We were inseparable after Aw, we ate We together We even shared the piece Of dental floss The was our burrito
So we got married, And we bought us a And had two children, and Superfly Oh we were so very, very, very happy, oh
But then, one night, Zelda to me, she said, "Sweetie Do you wanna the Columbia Record Club?" I said, "Woah! on now, baby! I'm just not ready for that of a commitment!"
So we up, And I saw her again But that's just the way go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, really started up for me, Because a week later I achieved my lifelong dream right, I got me a part-time job At the Sizzler!
I made employee of the month After I put out that grease my face!
Aw yeah, everybody was jealous Of me that I was a lot of attitude.
Okay, one time, I was out in the lot, Tryin' to my excess earwax a golf pencil, When I see this guy to carry a big ol' sofa Up the all by himself.
So I-I say to him, I say, "Hey, you want me to help you that?" And Marty, he just his eyes And goes, "No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs a chainsaw!"
So I did.
And he gets all indignant on me like, "Hey, man, I was just being sarcastic!" Well, that's great. How was I supposed to know I'm not a reader, For cryin' out
Besides, now got A really nickname - Torso-Boy! So what's he about?
Say, that me of another amusing anecdote guy comes up to me on the street And he tells me he had a bite In three
Well, I knew he meant, But to be funny, I a big bite Out of his vein And he's yelling and And all over, And I'm like, "Hey, come on, get it?" But he just keeps around on the sidewalk, and screaming, "Aaaahhhh! AaaaahhhhOhhhhh! Aaaaahhhh!" You know, missing The irony of the whole Man, some people just can't take a joke, you
Anyway, um... was I? Kinda lost my of thought.
Uh, well, uh, OK, anyway, I-I know kind of a roundabout way Of it, but, I guess the point I'm tryin' to make here is
I SAUERKRAUT!
That's all I'm tryin' to say And, by the way, if one day you happen to up And find in an existential quandry, of loathing and self-doubt And wracked with the and isolation Of your meaningless existence, At least you can take a small bit of In knowing that somewhere out there in Crazy ol' mixed-up of ours, There's a little place Albuquerque!
