Way back 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 from Jerry's Bait Shop You the place
anyway, Back then life was swell And everything was peachy!
of course for the undeniable fact That every single My mother would me a big ol' bowl of Sauer for breakfast
Big of sauer kraut! Every 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 oncoming And she leaned right 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 nothing but sauer Until I was and a half years old
when I swore that someday, Someday I get outta that basement 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 your back for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It wasn't long at all my dream came true Because the very day, A local radio had this contest To see who could correctly the number Of molecules in Leonard butt
I was off by three, but I won the grand prize That's right, a class, one-way ticket To Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Oh You know, I'd been On a real airplane And I tell ya It was great
Except I had to sit Between two Albanian women With excruciatingly 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 in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Shore And, oh yeah, three of the engines burned out And we into a tailspin And into a hillside And the plane in a giant fireball And died! for me. You know why?
'Cause I had my table up And my seat in the full upright position Had my tray up And my seat back in the upright position Had my tray up And my seat back in the full position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I crawled from the twisted, burnin', 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, 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 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 just to eat That chocolate mint on my pillow That I 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?" no answer "WHO IS IT!?" not sayin' anything
So finally, I go And I the door, And as I suspected, It's big, fat hermaphrodite a flock 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 have 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 voice And you know what it tell ya what it said!
It said, "If you'd to make a call, Please up and try again If you help, Hang up and then dial operator If you'd like to a call Please up and try again. If you help up and then dial your operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a long short, He got away 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 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 outta 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 Bavarian 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, we're 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 latch onto my face And bitin' me all over
Oh, man, they were just nuts! They tearin' me apart! You know, I it was just about that time that a little ditty started through my head I believe it 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 the street With these flesh-eating All my face, Wavin' my arms all And runnin', runnin', runnin', Like a wiener dog
And as would have it, That's when I ran into The of my dreams Her name was
She was a enthusiast, With a overbite, And the color of strained peaches
I'll forget The very thing She to me She said, "Hey, got weasels on your face."
That's when I knew it was love
We were after that Aw, we ate We bathed We even the same piece Of mint-flavored dental 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, said to me, she said, "Sweetie Do you wanna join the Record 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 just the way things go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, things started 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 made employee of the After I put out that fire 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, Tryin' to my excess earwax a golf pencil, When I see this guy Tryin' to carry a big ol' 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 he gets all indignant on me He's like, "Hey, man, I was being sarcastic!" Well, that's great. How was I to know 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 amusing 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 took a big Out of his jugular And he's and screaming And all over, And I'm like, "Hey, on, don'tcha 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 can't take a joke, you know?
Anyway, um... was I? Kinda lost my of thought.
Uh, well, uh, OK, anyway, I-I it's kind of a roundabout way Of it, but, I guess the point I'm tryin' to make here is
I SAUERKRAUT!
