Way back when I was a little 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 know the
anyway, Back then life was swell And everything was peachy!
of course for the undeniable fact That every single My would make me a big ol' bowl of kraut 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 looked at me a cow looks At an oncoming And she leaned right down 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 kraut I was twenty-six and a half years old
That's when I swore someday, Someday I would get outta that And travel to a magical, far place, Where the sun is shining And the air like warm root beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
the shriners 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 at all before my dream came true Because the very day, A local station had this contest To see who could correctly guess the Of molecules in Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I still won the grand That's right, a class, one-way ticket To Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Oh You know, I'd been On a airplane before And I tell ya It was really
Except I had to sit Between two large Albanian With excruciatingly severe odor And the little kid in of me Kept throwin' up the time The flight ran out of Dr. Pepper and peanuts And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines out And we went a tailspin And crashed into a And the plane exploded in a giant And died! for me. You know why?
'Cause I had my tray up And my seat in the full upright position Had my tray up And my seat back in the full upright Had my table up And my seat back in the full position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I from the twisted, burnin', wreckage I crawled on my hands and For three days Draggin' along my big suitcase And my bag And my tenor And my bowlin' ball And my lucky, autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel!
But finally I arrived at the famous Holiday Inn! Where the are oh so fluffy! And you can eat your Right out of the ashtrays if you okay, they're clean!
Well, I checked my room, And I turned the A/C, And I on the SpectraVision, And I'm just to eat That little chocolate on my pillow That I love so 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!?" They're not anything
So finally, I go And I the door, And as I suspected, It's big, fat hermaphrodite 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 have 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 my esophagus And I bit off his ear And he off my eyebrows And I out his appendix And he gave me a colonic Yes indeed-y, you better it!
And in the middle of it all The phone got off the hook And twenty later, I heard a familiar And you know it said? I'll tell ya it said!
It said, "If you'd to make a call, hang up and try again If you help, Hang up and then your operator If you'd like to a call 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 away my snorkel But I a solemn vow then and there That I not rest, I would not for an instant, the one-nostrilled man Was to justice But first, I to buy some donuts
So I got in my car And I drove over to the donut And I walked on up to the guy behind the 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 Bavarian donuts?" He said, "No, we're Bavarian cream-filled donuts." I said, "You got any rolls?" He said, "No, we're outta 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 bear claws!"
I said, "Well, in case In that case, do you have?" He says, "All I got now Is this box of one 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 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 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 these flesh-eating weasels All my face, my arms all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', Like a constipated dog
And as would have it, That's exactly 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 never The very thing She to me She said, "Hey, got weasels on your face."
That's when I knew it was true
We inseparable after that Aw, we ate We bathed We shared the same piece Of dental floss The was our burrito
So we got married, And we us a house And had two children, Nathaniel and Oh we so very, very, very happy, oh yeah
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 of the month After I put out grease fire my face!
Aw yeah, everybody was pretty 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 Tryin' to 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 you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw!"
So I did.
And then he gets all on me He's like, "Hey, man, I was just sarcastic!" Well, that's great. How was I to know that? I'm not a reader, For cryin' out
Besides, now got A really 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 what he meant, But to be funny, I a big bite 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 keeps around on the sidewalk, and screaming, "Aaaahhhh! AaaaahhhhOhhhhh! Aaaaahhhh!" You know, missing The irony of the whole Man, people just can't take a joke, you know?
Anyway, um... was I? Kinda lost my of thought.
Uh, well, uh, OK, anyway, I-I know it's kind of a way Of it, but, I the whole point I'm tryin' to make here 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, Full of and self-doubt And with the pain and isolation Of your pitiful existence, At least you can take a bit of comfort In knowing somewhere out there in this ol' mixed-up universe of ours, There's still a little Albuquerque! Albuquerque! Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!)
