Way back when I was just a bitty boy in a box Under the In the of the basement In the half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop You know the
anyway, Back then life was going And was just peachy!
of course for the undeniable fact That single morning My mother would me a big ol' bowl of kraut for breakfast
Big of sauer kraut! Every 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 looked at me like a cow At an oncoming And she leaned right next to me And she said, "IT'S FOR YOU!"
And then she me to the wall And stuck a in my mouth And fed me nothing but sauer kraut Until I was and a half years old
That's when I that someday, Someday I would get outta that And to a magical, far away place, Where the sun is shining And the air smells like warm beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
the shriners and the lepers Play their ukuleles all day And anyone on the Will gladly shave back for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It wasn't long at all before my dream came the very next day, A local station had this contest To see who could correctly guess the Of molecules in Leonard butt
I was off by three, but I still won the grand right, a first class, one-way ticket To Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Oh You know, I'd never On a real airplane And I tell ya It was really
Except I had to sit two large Albanian women With severe body odor And the little kid in of me throwin' up the whole time The flight ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted And the movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines out And we went a tailspin And crashed a hillside And the plane exploded in a fireball And died! Except for me. You know
'Cause I had my tray up And my seat back in the upright position Had my tray up And my seat back in the upright position Had my tray up And my back in the full upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I crawled the twisted, burnin', wreckage I crawled on my and knees For full days Draggin' along my big suitcase And my bag And my saxophone And my 12-pound bowlin' And my lucky, autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel!
But finally I arrived at the famous Holiday Inn! Where the are oh so fluffy! And you can eat your Right out of the if you wanna It's okay, clean!
Well, I into my room, And I down 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 a knock on the door
Well, now, who that be? I say, "Who is it?" No "Who is it?" no answer "WHO IS IT!?" not sayin' 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 grabs my snorkel, And I'm like, "Hey, you can't that! That snorkel's been just a snorkel 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 took out his And he gave me a irrigation Yes indeed-y, you believe it!
And somehow in the of it all The got knocked off the hook And twenty later, I heard a voice And you know what it I'll tell ya it said!
It said, "If like to make a call, Please hang up and try If you help, Hang up and dial your operator If you'd like to make a Please up and try again. If you need Hang up and then your operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a story short, He got with my snorkel But I a solemn vow Right then and I would not rest, I not sleep for an instant, Until the man Was to justice But first, I decided to buy donuts
So I got in my car And I drove over to the 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 glazed donuts." I say, "Well, you got any donuts?" He said, "No, we're outta 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, we're outta claws!"
I said, "Well, in that In case, what do you have?" He says, "All I got now Is box of one dozen Starving weasels." I said, "Okay, take 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 about that time that a little ditty started through my head I believe it went a little 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 these flesh-eating weasels All my face, Wavin' my arms all And runnin', runnin', runnin', Like a constipated dog
And as luck would it, That's exactly when I ran The girl of my Her name was
She was a enthusiast, With a overbite, And hair the color of strained
I'll forget The very first She to me She said, "Hey, You've got on your face."
when I knew it was true love
We were inseparable that Aw, we ate We bathed We even shared the same Of mint-flavored dental The world was our
So we got married, And we us a house And had two children, Nathaniel and Oh we were so very, very, happy, oh yeah
But then, one night, Zelda to me, she said, "Sweetie Do you wanna join the Record Club?" I said, "Woah! on now, baby! I'm not ready for that kind of a commitment!"
So we up, And I never saw her But that's just the way go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, things really up for me, Because about a week I achieved my lifelong dream That's right, I got me a job At the Sizzler!
I even employee of the month After I put out that fire my face!
Aw yeah, everybody was jealous Of me after I was a lot of attitude.
Okay, one time, I was out in the lot, Tryin' to remove my earwax a golf pencil, When I see guy Marty to carry a big ol' sofa Up the all by himself.
So I-I say to him, I say, "Hey, you me to help you with 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 then he gets all on me like, "Hey, man, I was just being sarcastic!" Well, just great. How was I supposed to know I'm not a reader, For out loud
Besides, now got A really cute - Torso-Boy! So what's he about?
Say, that reminds me of amusing anecdote This guy up to me on the street And he me he hasn't 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, on, don'tcha get it?" But he keeps rolling around on the sidewalk, and screaming, "Aaaahhhh! AaaaahhhhOhhhhh! Aaaaahhhh!" You know, missing The irony of the whole Man, some people can't take a joke, you know?
Anyway, um... was I? Kinda lost my of thought.
Uh, well, uh, OK, anyway, I-I know it's kind of a way Of it, but, I the whole 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 to wake up And yourself in an existential quandry, of loathing and self-doubt And wracked with the and isolation Of your pitiful existence, At least you can a small bit of comfort In knowing somewhere out there in this Crazy ol' mixed-up of ours, There's still a little Albuquerque! Albuquerque! Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!)
I A! (A!) L! (L!) B! (B!) U! (U!) ... querque! (querque!)
(Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque) (Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque) (Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque, Albuquerque) Al...buquerque!
