Way when I was just a little bitty boy in a box Under the In the of the basement In the house half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait You the place
anyway, Back life was going swell And was just peachy!
Except of course for the fact That every single My mother would make me a big ol' of Sauer kraut for
Big of sauer 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 at me like a cow looks At an train And she leaned right next to me And she said, "IT'S FOR YOU!"
And then she tied me to the And stuck a funnel in my And fed me nothing but sauer kraut Until I was twenty-six and a years old
That's when I that someday, Someday I would get outta that And to a magical, far away place, the sun is always shining And the air smells warm root beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
the shriners and the lepers Play ukuleles all day long And on the street Will gladly shave your for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It wasn't long at all before my dream true the very next day, A local station had this contest To see who could guess the number Of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's
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 been On a real before And I gotta ya It was great
Except I had to sit Between two large women excruciatingly severe body odor And the little kid in of me Kept throwin' up the 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 engines burned out And we into a tailspin And into a hillside And the plane exploded in a fireball And died! Except for me. You know
I had my tray table up And my seat back in the upright position Had my table up And my seat in the full upright position Had my table up And my back in the full upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I crawled the twisted, burnin', wreckage I on my hands and knees For three full Draggin' my big leather suitcase And my bag And my tenor And my bowlin' ball And my lucky, lucky glow-in-the-dark snorkel!
But I arrived at the world famous Holiday Inn! Where the are oh so fluffy! And you can eat soup out of the ashtrays 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 there's a on the door
Well, now, who that 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 With a of seagulls, haircut, And one nostril 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 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 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 in the middle of it all The phone got knocked off the And seconds later, I a familiar voice And you know what it tell ya what it said!
It said, "If like to make a call, hang up and try again If you help, Hang up and then dial operator If you'd to make 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 made a vow then and there That I not rest, I not sleep for an instant, the one-nostrilled man Was brought to But first, I decided to buy donuts
So I got in my car And I over to the donut shop And I walked on up to the guy 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, outta jelly donuts." I said, "You got any cream-filled 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 case, what 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 were goin' nuts! They tearin' me apart! You know, I think it was just 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 into the 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 exactly I ran into The of my dreams Her was Zelda
She was a enthusiast, a slight overbite, And hair the color of peaches
I'll never The very first She to me She said, "Hey, You've got weasels on face."
That's when I it was true love
We were inseparable after Aw, we ate We together We even the same piece Of mint-flavored floss The world was our
So we got married, And we bought us a And had two children, and Superfly Oh we were so very, very, happy, oh yeah
But then, one night, Zelda to me, she said, "Sweetie Do you join 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 the way things go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, things really up for me, Because a week later I finally achieved my dream That's right, I got me a job At the Sizzler!
I made employee of the month After I put out that grease 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, to remove 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 rolls his And goes, "No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs a chainsaw!"
So I did.
And he gets all indignant on me He's like, "Hey, man, I was being sarcastic!" Well, just great. How was I supposed to that? I'm not a reader, For out loud
Besides, now got A really nickname - Torso-Boy! So what's he about?
Say, reminds me of another amusing anecdote This guy comes up to me on the And he tells me he had a bite In three
Well, I what he meant, But to be funny, I a big bite Out of his jugular 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 situation Man, some people just take a joke, you know?
Anyway, um... was I? Kinda my train of thought.
Uh, well, uh, OK, anyway, I-I it's kind of a roundabout way Of it, but, I guess the whole I'm tryin' to make here is
I SAUERKRAUT!
That's all I'm really to say And, by the way, if one day you happen to up And yourself in an existential quandry, of loathing and self-doubt And wracked the pain and isolation Of pitiful meaningless existence, At least you can take a small bit of In that 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!)
