Way back when I was just a bitty boy in a box Under the In the corner of the In the house half a down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop You the place
anyway, Back then was going swell And everything was peachy!
Except of for the undeniable fact every single morning My mother would me a big ol' bowl of Sauer for breakfast
Big of sauer kraut! single 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 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 force fed me but sauer kraut Until I was twenty-six and a half old
That's I swore that someday, Someday I would get outta basement And to a magical, far away place, the sun is always shining And the air smells like warm beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
Where the and the lepers their ukuleles all day long And on the street gladly shave 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 very day, A local radio station had this To see who could guess the number Of molecules in Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I still won the 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 women With excruciatingly severe odor And the little kid in of me Kept up the whole time The flight ran out of Dr. and salted peanuts And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with 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! for me. You know why?
'Cause I had my tray up And my back in the full upright position Had my table up And my back in the full upright position Had my tray up And my seat back in the upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I crawled from the twisted, burnin', I crawled on my hands and For three days Draggin' my big leather suitcase And my bag And my tenor And my bowlin' 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 ashtrays if you It's okay, clean!
Well, I checked my room, And I down the A/C, And I on the SpectraVision, And I'm just to eat That little chocolate on my pillow I love so very, very much, When suddenly a knock on the door
Well, now, who could be? I say, "Who is it?" No "Who is it?" There's no "WHO IS IT!?" not sayin' anything
So finally, I go And I the door, And as I suspected, It's some big, fat a flock of seagulls, haircut, And only one Oh, man, I hate it I'm right!
So, anyway, He bursts my room, And he grabs my 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 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 better it!
And somehow in the of it all The phone got off the hook And seconds later, I a familiar voice And you know it said? tell ya what it said!
It said, "If you'd like to 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 need up and then dial your operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a story short, He got with my snorkel But I made a vow Right then and I would not rest, I would not for an instant, the one-nostrilled man Was brought to But first, I to buy some donuts
So I got in my car And I drove 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, we're outta donuts." I said, "You got any cream-filled donuts?" He said, "No, outta Bavarian 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, we're outta fritters!" I said, "You got any claws?" He said, "Wait a minute, go check."
"Naw, we're 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, take that."
So he me the box, And I up the lid, And the jump out And they latch onto my face And start bitin' me all
Oh, man, they were just nuts! They were me apart! You know, I think it was 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 these flesh-eating weasels All my face, my arms all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', a constipated wiener dog
And as luck would it, That's when I ran into The girl of my Her was Zelda
She was a enthusiast, With a overbite, And the color of strained peaches
never forget The first thing She to me She said, "Hey, You've got weasels on face."
when I knew it was true love
We were inseparable that Aw, we ate We bathed We even shared the same Of dental floss 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 just not ready for kind of a commitment!"
So we up, And I saw her again But that's the way things go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, really started up for me, Because about a week I achieved my lifelong dream right, I got me a part-time job At the Sizzler!
I made 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 want me to 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 to know that? I'm not a reader, For out loud
Besides, now got A really cute - Torso-Boy! So what's he about?
Say, reminds me of another amusing anecdote This guy up to me on the street And he tells me he hasn't had a In days
Well, I what 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 rolling on the sidewalk, and screaming, "Aaaahhhh! AaaaahhhhOhhhhh! Aaaaahhhh!" You know, missing The of the whole situation 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 whole point I'm tryin' to make is
I SAUERKRAUT!
all I'm really 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' 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!)
