Слова песни:Way back when I was just a little bitty boy living in a box under the
Stairs in the corner of the basement of the house half a block down the
Street from Jerry's Bait Shop... You know the place... Well anyway,
Back then life was going swell and everything was juuuuust peachy...
Except of course for the undeniable fact that every single morning my
Mother would make me a big ol' bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast.
Dawww!! Big bowl of sauerkraut!
Every single mornin'! It was driving me crazy.
I said to my mom, I said, "Hey, mom, what's up with all the sauerkraut?"
And my dear, sweet mother, she just looked at me like a cow looks at an
Oncoming train. And she leaned right down next to me, and she said, "IT'S
GOOD FOR YOU!" And then she tied me to the wall and stuck a funnel in my
Mouth and force fed me nothing but sauerkraut until I was 26 and a half
Years old.
That's when I swore that someday, someday I would get outta that
Basement and travel to a magical, far away place, where the sun is
Always shining and the air smells like warm root beer, and the towels
Are oh so fluffy! Where the shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles
All day long, and anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for
A nickel!
Wacka wacka, doo doo, yeah!
Well, let me tell you, people, it wasn't long at all before my dream
Came true. Because the very next day, a local radio station had this
Contest to see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in
Leonard Nimoy's butt. I was off by three, but I still won the grand
Prize. That's right, a first class, one-way ticket...
To Albuquerque!
Albuquerque!
Oh yeah. You know, I'd never been on a real airplane before, and I gotta
Tell ya, it was really great... except that I had to sit between two large
Albanian women with excruciatingly severe body odor. And the little kid in
Back of me kept throwin' up the whole time. The flight attendants ran out of
Dr. Pepper and salted peanuts, and the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with
Pauly Shore...and, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out, and we
Went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside and the plane exploded in a
Giant fireball and everybody died. Except for me. You know why?
'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Ah-ha-ha-ha. Ah-ha-ha. Aahhh. So I crawled from the twisted, burnin'
Wreckage, I crawled on my hands and knees for three full days, draggin'
Along my big leather suitcase and my garment bag and my tenor saxophone
And my 12-pound bowlin' ball and my lucky, lucky autographed
Glow-in-the-dark snorkel. But finally I arrived at the world famous
Albuquerque Holiday Inn where the towels are oh so fluffy! And you can
Eat your soup right out of the ashtrays if you wanna. It's OK, they're
Clean.
Well, I checked into my room, and I turned down the A/C, and I turned
On the SpectraVision, and I'm just about to eat that little chocolate
Mint on my pillow that I love so very, very much, when suddenly there's
A knock on the door. Well, now, who could that be?
I say, "Who is it?" No answer.
"Who is it?" There's no answer.
"WHO IS IT!?" They're not sayin' anything.
So finally, I go over and I open the door, and just as I suspected,
It's some big, fat hermaphrodite with a flock of seagulls, haircut, and
Only one nostril. Oh, man, I hate it when I'm right.
So, anyway, he bursts into my room, and he grabs my lucky snorkel, and
I'm like, "Hey, you can't have that! That snorkel's been just like a
Snorkel to me."
And he's like, "Tough!"
And I'm like, "Give it!"
And he's like, "Make me!"
And I'm like, "'kay!"
So I grabbed his leg and he grabbed my esophagus, and I bit off his ear
And he chewed off my eyebrows, and I took out his appendix and he gave
A colonic irrigation, yes indeed, you better believe it. And somehow in
The middle of it all, the phone got knocked off the hook. And twenty
Seconds later, I heard a familiar voice. And you know what it said?
I'll tell ya what it said!
It said, "If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again.
If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator.
If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again.
If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator."
In Albuquerque!
Albuquerque!
Well, to cut a long story short, he got away with my snorkel. But I
Made a solemn vow right then and there that I would not rest, I would
Not sleep for an instant, until the one-nostrilled man was brought to
Justice.
