Way when I was just a little bitty boy in a box Under the In the of the basement In the house half a down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop You know the
anyway, Back then life was going And was just peachy!
Except of for the undeniable fact That every single My mother would me a big ol' bowl 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 looked at me a cow looks At an train And she leaned down next to me And she said, "IT'S FOR YOU!"
And then she me to the wall And stuck a funnel in my And fed me nothing but sauer kraut Until I was twenty-six and a half old
That's when I swore someday, Someday I get outta that basement And to a magical, far away place, Where the sun is always And the air smells like root beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
the shriners and the lepers Play their all day long And anyone on the Will gladly your back for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It long at all before my dream came true Because the next day, A local station had this contest To see who could correctly guess the Of molecules in Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I won the grand prize That's right, a first class, ticket To Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Oh You know, I'd never On a real airplane And I gotta ya It was really
that I had to sit Between two large Albanian With severe body odor And the little kid in of me Kept throwin' up the whole The flight ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted And the in-flight movie was with Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, three of the engines burned out And we went into a And into a hillside And the exploded in a giant fireball And died! Except for me. You why?
'Cause I had my table up And my seat back in the upright position Had my table up And my seat back in the full position Had my tray up And my back in the full upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I from the twisted, burnin', wreckage I on my hands and knees For full days Draggin' along my big suitcase And my bag And my tenor And my 12-pound ball And my lucky, lucky autographed snorkel!
But finally I at the world famous Holiday Inn! Where the are oh so fluffy! And you can eat soup Right out of the if you wanna It's okay, clean!
Well, I into 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 That I 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?" There's no "WHO IS IT!?" They're not sayin'
So finally, I go And I the door, And as I suspected, It's some big, fat a flock of seagulls, haircut, And one nostril Oh, man, I it when I'm right!
So, anyway, He into my room, And he my lucky snorkel, And I'm like, "Hey, you have that! That snorkel's been like 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 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 somehow in the of it all The phone got off the hook And seconds later, I heard a familiar And you know it said? tell ya what it said!
It said, "If like 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 Please up and try again. If you need up and then dial your operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a long short, He got away with my 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 some
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, outta jelly donuts." I said, "You got any Bavarian donuts?" He said, "No, outta Bavarian 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 case, what do you have?" He says, "All I got now Is this box of one Starving weasels." I said, "Okay, take that."
So he me the box, And I up the lid, And the jump out And immediately latch onto my face And bitin' me all over
Oh, man, were just goin' nuts! They were me apart! You know, I it was just about that time that a little ditty started goin' through my I believe it went a little somethin' like
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 the street With flesh-eating weasels All my face, my arms all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', a constipated wiener dog
And as would have it, exactly when I ran into The girl of my Her name was
She was a enthusiast, a slight overbite, And hair the of strained peaches
I'll forget The very thing She to me She said, "Hey, You've got on your face."
That's when I knew it was love
We were inseparable after Aw, we ate We bathed We even shared the piece Of mint-flavored dental The world was our
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 the Columbia Record Club?" I said, "Woah! on now, baby! I'm just not ready for kind of a commitment!"
So we up, And I never saw her But that's just the way go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, things started up for me, Because about a week I finally achieved my lifelong That's right, I got me a job At the Sizzler!
I even made employee of the After I put out 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 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 want me to you with that?" And Marty, he just rolls his And goes, "No, I want you to cut off my arms and with 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 cryin' out
Besides, now got A really cute - Torso-Boy! So he complaining 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 what he meant, But to be funny, I took a big Out of his vein And he's and screaming And all over, And I'm like, "Hey, come on, 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 my train 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, Full of and self-doubt And wracked the pain and isolation Of your pitiful existence, At least you can take a bit of comfort In knowing that somewhere out in this Crazy ol' mixed-up of ours, still a little place Albuquerque!
