Way back when I was just a little 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 everything was peachy!
Except of 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, what's up all the sauerkraut?"
And my dear, mother, She looked at me like a cow looks At an oncoming And she right down next to me And she said, "IT'S FOR YOU!"
And she tied me to the wall 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 would get that basement And travel to a magical, far place, Where the sun is shining And the air smells like warm beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
Where the shriners and the their ukuleles all day long And anyone on the Will shave your back for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It wasn't long at all before my came true the very next day, A local radio station had this To see who correctly guess the number Of molecules in Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I still won the prize 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 Between two large Albanian excruciatingly severe body odor And the little kid in of me throwin' up the whole time The attendants ran out of Dr. and salted peanuts And the movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, three of the engines burned out And we into a tailspin And into a hillside And the plane exploded in a giant And died! for me. You know why?
'Cause I had my table up And my seat back in the upright position Had my tray up And my back in the full upright position Had my table up And my seat in the full upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I from the twisted, burnin', wreckage I crawled on my and knees For three full 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 arrived at the famous Albuquerque Inn! the towels are oh so fluffy! And you can eat your 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 little chocolate mint on my pillow That I so very, very much, When suddenly there's a knock on the
Well, now, who could 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 big, fat hermaphrodite With a 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 been just 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 out his appendix 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 what it I'll ya what it said!
It said, "If you'd like to a call, Please up and try again If you help, up and then dial your operator If you'd like to a call Please up and try again. If you need Hang up and dial your operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a long short, He got with my snorkel But I a solemn vow Right and there That I not rest, I would not for an instant, Until the man Was to justice But first, I to buy some 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, 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 cinnamon rolls!" I said, "You got any fritters?" He said, "No, outta 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 my face And start bitin' me all
Oh, man, they were just nuts! They tearin' me apart! You know, I think it was just that time that a little ditty started goin' 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 these flesh-eating weasels All my face, Wavin' my arms all And runnin', runnin', runnin', Like a constipated 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 never The very thing She to me She said, "Hey, You've got on your face."
That's I knew it was true love
We inseparable after that Aw, we ate We bathed We even shared the same Of mint-flavored dental The was our burrito
So we got married, And we us a house And had two children, Nathaniel and Oh we so very, very, very happy, oh yeah
But then, one night, Zelda 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 saw her again But that's just the way go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, things started up for me, Because about a later I finally achieved my lifelong right, I got me a part-time job At the Sizzler!
I even made employee of the I put out that grease fire my face!
Aw yeah, was pretty jealous Of me after I was a lot of attitude.
Okay, one time, I was out in the lot, Tryin' to remove my earwax With a pencil, When I see guy Marty Tryin' to 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 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 being sarcastic!" Well, that's great. How was I supposed to that? I'm not a reader, For out loud
Besides, now got A really cute - Torso-Boy! So he complaining about?
Say, that reminds me of another anecdote This guy 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 jugular And yelling and screaming And all over, And I'm like, "Hey, on, don'tcha 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 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 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 with the and isolation Of your pitiful existence, At least you can take a small bit of In that somewhere out there in this ol' mixed-up universe of ours, There's a little place Albuquerque!
