Way back when I was just a little 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 know the
anyway, Back then was going swell And everything was peachy!
of course for the undeniable fact That every morning My mother would me a big ol' bowl of Sauer 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 a cow looks At an oncoming And she leaned 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 nothing but kraut Until I was and a half years old
when I swore that someday, Someday I would get outta 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 ukuleles all day And anyone on the Will gladly shave back for a nickel!
wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me you, people, It wasn't long at all before my dream true the very next day, A local station had this contest To see who could guess the number Of in Leonard Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I still won the prize That's right, a first class, one-way To Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Oh You know, I'd never On a airplane before And I gotta ya It was really
that I had to sit Between two large Albanian With excruciatingly severe body And the kid in back of me Kept throwin' up the whole The flight ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted And the in-flight was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines out And we went a tailspin And crashed into a And the exploded in a giant fireball And died! Except for me. You why?
'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 position Had my table up And my seat in the full upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha! So I from the twisted, burnin', wreckage I crawled on my and knees For three days Draggin' along my big leather And my bag And my saxophone And my bowlin' ball And my lucky, autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel!
But I arrived at the world famous Albuquerque Inn! the towels 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 down the A/C, And I on the SpectraVision, And I'm just to eat That little chocolate on my pillow I love so very, very much, When there's a knock on the door
Well, now, who that 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, some big, fat hermaphrodite With a of seagulls, haircut, And one nostril Oh, man, I hate it I'm right!
So, anyway, He bursts my room, And he my lucky snorkel, And I'm like, "Hey, you can't that! That snorkel's been 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 grabbed my And I bit off his ear And he off my eyebrows And I out his appendix And he gave me a irrigation Yes indeed-y, you believe it!
And somehow in the of it all The got knocked off the hook And seconds later, I a familiar voice And you know it said? tell ya what it said!
It said, "If you'd like to a call, Please up and try again If you help, Hang up and then dial operator If you'd to make a call Please up and try again. If you need Hang up and then dial operator In Albuquerque!" Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a long short, He got away with my But I made a vow then and there That I not rest, I not sleep for an instant, the one-nostrilled man Was brought to But first, I to buy some donuts
So I got in my car And I drove over to the 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 glazed donuts." I say, "Well, you got any donuts?" He said, "No, we're outta donuts." I said, "You got any cream-filled donuts?" He said, "No, outta Bavarian 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 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, I'll that."
So he me the box, And I up the lid, And the weasels out And they immediately latch onto my And bitin' me all over
Oh, man, were just goin' nuts! They tearin' me apart! You know, I it was just about that time that a little started goin' through my head I believe it went a little somethin' like
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 all around And runnin', runnin', runnin', a constipated wiener dog
And as would have it, That's when I ran into The girl of my Her name was
She was a enthusiast, With a overbite, And hair the color of peaches
I'll forget The very thing She to me She said, "Hey, You've got weasels on face."
when I knew it was true love
We inseparable after that Aw, we ate We bathed We even shared the piece Of mint-flavored floss The was our burrito
So we got married, And we us a house And had two children, Nathaniel and Oh we were so very, very, very happy, oh
But then, one night, said 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 saw her again But that's just the way go In Albuquerque! Albuquerque!
Anyway, really started up for me, Because about a week I finally achieved my dream right, I got me a part-time job At the Sizzler!
I even employee of the month I put out that grease 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 my excess earwax 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 rolls his eyes And goes, "No, I want you to cut off my arms and with a chainsaw!"
So I did.
And then he gets all on me like, "Hey, man, I was just being sarcastic!" Well, just great. How was I supposed to know I'm not a reader, For out loud
Besides, now got A really cute - Torso-Boy! So what's he complaining
Say, that reminds me of another anecdote guy comes up to me on the street And he tells me he had a bite In days
Well, I what he meant, But to be funny, I took a big Out of his jugular And he's yelling and 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 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 kind of a roundabout 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 loathing and And wracked with the pain and Of your meaningless existence, At least you can a small bit of comfort In knowing that somewhere out in this Crazy ol' mixed-up of ours, There's a little place Albuquerque! Albuquerque! Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!) Albuquerque! (Albuquerque!)
