Way back when I was a little bitty boy in a box Under the In the corner of the In the house half a block down the street from Bait Shop You know the
anyway, Back then was going swell And everything was peachy!
Except of course for the undeniable every single morning My mother would make me a big ol' of Sauer for breakfast
Big bowl of 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 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 in my mouth 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 travel to a magical, far place, the sun is always shining And the air smells warm root beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
Where the shriners and the Play their all day long And on the street Will gladly shave your 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 station had this contest To see who could correctly the number Of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's
I was off by three, but I still won the grand 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 great
that I had to sit Between two large Albanian With excruciatingly body odor And the kid in back of me throwin' up the whole time The attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly And, oh yeah, three of the engines burned out And we went a tailspin And crashed into a And the plane exploded in a fireball And died! for me. You know why?
'Cause I had my tray up And my seat back in the full position Had my tray up And my seat back in the upright position Had my table up And my seat in the full upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I crawled from the twisted, burnin', I crawled on my and knees For three full along my big leather suitcase And my bag And my tenor And my 12-pound bowlin' 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 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 about to eat That little chocolate on my pillow I love so very, very much, When suddenly a knock on the door
Well, now, who that be? I say, "Who is it?" No "Who is it?" no answer "WHO IS IT!?" They're not anything
So finally, I go And I the door, And as I suspected, some 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 snorkel's been just 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 irrigation Yes indeed-y, you better it!
And in the middle of it all The phone got knocked off the And seconds later, I heard a familiar And you know what it tell ya what it said!
It said, "If you'd like to a call, hang 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 then your operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a story short, He got away my snorkel But I made a vow Right and there That I not rest, I would not 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 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, 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, 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 crazed weasels." I said, "Okay, I'll that."
So he me the box, And I up the lid, And the weasels out And they immediately onto my face And start me all over
Oh, man, they just goin' nuts! They were me apart! You know, I think it was just about time that a little ditty started goin' my head I believe it went a 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 into the With flesh-eating weasels All my face, my arms all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', a constipated wiener dog
And as luck have it, That's when I ran into The girl of my Her name was
She was a enthusiast, With a overbite, And the color of strained peaches
I'll forget The first thing She to me She said, "Hey, You've got on your face."
That's when I knew it was true
We were inseparable that Aw, we ate We bathed We even shared the piece Of mint-flavored dental The was our burrito
So we got married, And we us a house And had two children, and Superfly Oh we were so very, very, very happy, oh
But then, one night, Zelda to me, she said, "Sweetie Do you wanna the Columbia Record Club?" I said, "Woah! on now, baby! I'm just not ready for that of a commitment!"
So we up, And I never saw her But just the way things go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, things started up for me, Because a week later I finally achieved my lifelong That's right, I got me a job At the Sizzler!
I even made employee of the After I put out that grease 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, When I see guy Marty to carry 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 rolls his eyes 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 like, "Hey, man, I was just being sarcastic!" Well, just great. How was I to know that? I'm not a reader, For cryin' out
Besides, now got A really cute - Torso-Boy! So what's he about?
Say, that reminds me of another amusing 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 took a big Out of his vein And he's and screaming And all over, And I'm like, "Hey, come on, 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 know it's of a roundabout way Of it, but, I guess the whole point I'm to make here is
I SAUERKRAUT!
That's all I'm tryin' 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 pain and Of your pitiful existence, At least you can take a small bit of In that somewhere out there in this Crazy ol' universe of ours, still a little place Albuquerque!
