Way when I was just a little bitty boy in a box Under the In the of the basement In the house half a down the street from Jerry's Bait Shop You know the
anyway, Back then was going swell And was just peachy!
Except of for the undeniable fact every single morning My mother make me a big ol' bowl of Sauer for breakfast
Big bowl of 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 looked at me a cow looks At an train 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 years old
That's when I swore someday, Someday I would get outta basement And travel to a magical, far place, Where the sun is always And the air smells like warm beer, And the are oh so fluffy!
the shriners and the lepers Play their ukuleles all day 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 Because the next day, A local station had this contest To see who could correctly the number Of in Leonard Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I won the grand prize right, a first class, one-way ticket To Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Oh You know, I'd been On a airplane before And I gotta ya It was really
that I had to sit Between two Albanian women With excruciatingly severe body And the little kid in of me throwin' up the whole time The flight ran out of Dr. and salted peanuts And the movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, of the airplane engines burned out And we went a tailspin And crashed into a And the plane in a giant fireball And died! Except for me. You know
'Cause I had my table up And my back in the full upright position Had my tray up And my seat back in the full upright 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 on my hands and knees For three days along my big leather suitcase And my bag And my tenor And my 12-pound ball And my lucky, lucky autographed snorkel!
But finally I at the world famous Albuquerque Inn! Where the are oh so fluffy! And you can eat your Right out of the if you wanna It's okay, clean!
Well, I checked 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 love so very, much, suddenly there's a knock 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 some big, fat With a of seagulls, haircut, And only one 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 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 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 what it I'll tell ya it said!
It said, "If you'd like to a call, hang up and try again If you help, Hang up and then dial your If you'd like to a call hang up and try again. If you need Hang up and then dial your In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a story short, He got with my snorkel But I a solemn 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 some
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, outta 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 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 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 that case, 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 jump out And immediately latch onto my face And bitin' me all over
Oh, man, they were just nuts! were tearin' me apart! You know, I think it was just about that that a ditty started goin' 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 into the With flesh-eating weasels All my face, Wavin' my all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', Like a constipated dog
And as luck have it, That's exactly I ran into The girl of my Her was Zelda
She was a enthusiast, a slight overbite, And hair the of strained peaches
I'll never The first thing She to me She said, "Hey, got weasels on your face."
That's I knew it was true love
We inseparable after that Aw, we ate We together We even shared the piece Of dental floss The was our burrito
So we got married, And we bought us a 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 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 started up for me, Because about a week I finally achieved my lifelong right, I got me a part-time job At the Sizzler!
I even made of the month I put out that grease fire my face!
Aw yeah, was pretty jealous 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 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 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 then he all indignant on me He's like, "Hey, man, I was being sarcastic!" Well, just great. How was I supposed to know I'm not a reader, For out loud
Besides, now got A cute nickname - Torso-Boy! So what's he complaining
Say, that reminds me of another amusing This guy comes up to me on the And he me he hasn't had a bite In three
Well, I what he meant, But to be funny, I took a big Out of his jugular And yelling 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 whole Man, some people just can't 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 guess the whole I'm tryin' to make here is
I SAUERKRAUT!
