Way back I was just a little bitty boy in a box Under the In the corner of the In the house half a block down the street from Jerry's Shop You the place
anyway, Back then life was swell And was just peachy!
Except of course for the fact every single morning My mother make me a big ol' bowl of kraut 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 just looked at me like a cow At an oncoming And she leaned down next to me And she said, "IT'S FOR YOU!"
And then she me to the wall And a funnel in my mouth And force fed me nothing but sauer I was twenty-six and a half years old
That's when I swore someday, Someday I would get that basement And to a magical, far away place, Where the sun is shining And the air smells warm root beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
Where the and the lepers Play their all day long And on the street gladly shave 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 next day, A local radio station had this To see who could guess the number Of molecules in Leonard butt
I was off by three, but I still won the grand 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
that I had to sit Between two Albanian women With severe body odor And the little kid in of me Kept throwin' up the time The flight ran out of Dr. and salted peanuts And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, of the airplane engines burned out And we went into a And into a hillside And the plane exploded in a fireball And died! Except for me. You why?
I had my tray table up And my seat in the full upright position Had my table up And my back in the full upright 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 crawled on my hands and For full days Draggin' along my big suitcase And my bag And my tenor And my 12-pound bowlin' And my lucky, autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel!
But finally I arrived at the world Albuquerque 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 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!?" 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 one nostril 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 can't that! snorkel's 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 my esophagus And I bit off his ear And he off my eyebrows And I took out his And he gave me a irrigation Yes indeed-y, you believe it!
And somehow in the of it all The phone got knocked off the And seconds later, I a familiar voice And you what it said? tell ya what it said!
It said, "If like to make a call, Please hang up and try If you help, Hang up and then dial your If you'd like to make a Please up and try again. If you need Hang up and then dial your In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a long short, He got with my snorkel But I a solemn vow Right and there I would not rest, I would not for an instant, Until the 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, outta glazed donuts." I say, "Well, you got any donuts?" He said, "No, we're jelly 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, outta 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 outta claws!"
I said, "Well, in case In case, what do you have?" He says, "All I got now Is box of one dozen Starving weasels." I said, "Okay, take that."
So he me the box, And I up the lid, And the weasels out And they immediately onto my face And bitin' me all over
Oh, man, they just goin' nuts! were tearin' me apart! You know, I think it was just that time that a little ditty started through 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 With these flesh-eating All my face, Wavin' my all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', a constipated 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 hair the color of strained
I'll forget The first thing She to me She said, "Hey, You've got weasels on face."
That's when I knew it was true
We inseparable after that Aw, we ate We together We even shared the piece Of mint-flavored dental The world was our
So we got married, And we bought us a 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 join the Columbia Record Club?" I said, "Woah! on now, baby! I'm not ready for that 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 about a later I finally my lifelong dream That's right, I got me a job At the Sizzler!
I even made employee of the After I put out that fire my face!
Aw yeah, everybody was pretty Of me after I was a lot of attitude.
Okay, one time, I was out in the lot, Tryin' to remove my excess a golf pencil, When I see this guy 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 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 cryin' out
Besides, now got A cute nickname - Torso-Boy! So what's he complaining
Say, that reminds me of amusing anecdote guy comes up to me on the street And he me he hasn't had a bite In three
Well, I knew he meant, But to be funny, I a big bite Out of his vein And he's yelling and 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!
That's all I'm really to say And, by the way, if one day you happen to up And find yourself in an 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 knowing that somewhere out there in Crazy ol' universe of ours, still a little place Albuquerque!
