Way back 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 life was going And was just peachy!
Except of course for the undeniable That every single My would make me a big ol' bowl of Sauer for breakfast
Big bowl of kraut! Every mornin'! It was me crazy! And I to my mom, I said, "Hey, mom, what's up all the sauerkraut?"
And my dear, mother, She just at me like a cow looks At an oncoming And she leaned right down to me And she said, "IT'S FOR YOU!"
And she tied me to the wall And stuck a funnel in my And fed me nothing but sauer kraut I was twenty-six 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 like warm root beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
Where the and the lepers Play their all day long And anyone on the Will gladly shave back for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It long at all before my dream came true Because the very day, A local radio station had contest 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 airplane before And I tell ya It was really
that I had to sit Between two large women With excruciatingly severe body And the kid in back of me Kept up the whole time The attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted And the in-flight movie was with Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines out And we into a tailspin And crashed into a And the plane exploded in a fireball And died! for me. You know why?
'Cause I had my table up And my seat back in the full position Had my table up And my seat back in the full position Had my tray up And my seat back in the full upright
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I crawled the twisted, burnin', wreckage I crawled on my and knees For three days Draggin' my big leather suitcase And my bag And my saxophone And my 12-pound bowlin' And my lucky, autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel!
But I arrived at the world famous Albuquerque Inn! Where the are oh so fluffy! And you can eat your Right out of the ashtrays if you It's okay, clean!
Well, I into my room, And I turned the A/C, And I on the SpectraVision, And I'm about to eat That little chocolate on my pillow I love 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?" There's no "WHO IS IT!?" They're not anything
So finally, I go And I the door, And as I suspected, some big, fat hermaphrodite With a of seagulls, haircut, And only one Oh, man, I it when I'm right!
So, anyway, He into my room, And he grabs my snorkel, And I'm like, "Hey, you can't 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 out his appendix And he gave me a colonic Yes indeed-y, you better it!
And somehow in the of it all The phone got knocked off the And twenty later, I heard a familiar And you know what it I'll tell ya it said!
It said, "If you'd to make a call, Please hang up and try If you help, Hang up and then your operator If you'd like to a call Please up and try again. If you help Hang up and then dial operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a long short, He got with my snorkel But I made a vow then and there That I not rest, I not sleep for an instant, the one-nostrilled 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 on up to the guy behind the counter And he says, "Yeah, want?"
I said, "You got any donuts?" He said, "Nah, outta 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 apple fritters!" I said, "You got any claws?" He said, "Wait a minute, go check."
"Naw, outta bear claws!"
I said, "Well, in that 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 weasels out And they immediately latch onto my And start bitin' me all
Oh, man, they just goin' nuts! They tearin' me apart! You know, I think it was about that time that a little ditty goin' through 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 these 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 exactly I ran into The of my dreams Her was Zelda
She was a enthusiast, With a overbite, And hair the color of peaches
never forget The very first She to me She said, "Hey, You've got on your face."
That's when I knew it was love
We were after that Aw, we ate We together We shared the same piece Of dental floss The world was our
So we got married, And we bought us a 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 just not ready for kind of a commitment!"
So we up, And I saw her again But just the way things go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, things really up for me, Because about a later I achieved my lifelong dream right, I got me a part-time job At the Sizzler!
I even employee of the month I put out that grease fire 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 With a pencil, I see this guy Marty Tryin' to 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 all indignant on me He's like, "Hey, man, I was just sarcastic!" Well, that's great. How was I supposed to that? I'm not a reader, For out loud
Besides, now got A cute nickname - Torso-Boy! So he complaining about?
Say, that reminds me of another anecdote This guy comes up to me on the 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 and screaming And all over, And I'm like, "Hey, come on, get it?" But he just 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 kind of a way Of it, but, I the whole point I'm tryin' to make here is
I SAUERKRAUT!
all I'm really tryin' to say And, by the way, if one day you to wake up And find in an existential quandry, of loathing and self-doubt And wracked the pain and isolation Of your meaningless existence, At least you can take a bit of comfort In knowing that somewhere out in this Crazy ol' universe of ours, There's still a place Albuquerque! Albuquerque! Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!)
I A! (A!) L! (L!) B! (B!) U! (U!) ... querque! (querque!)
