Albuquerque - Weird Al Yankovic[00:00:00]
Written by:Al Yankovic[00:00:01]
Way back when I was just a little bitty boy[00:00:06]
Living in a box under the stairs in the corner of[00:00:08]
The basement of the house[00:00:10]
Half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait shop[00:00:11]
You know the place[00:00:14]
Well anyway back then life was going swell and everything was just peachy[00:00:15]
Except of course for the undeniable fact that every single morning[00:00:20]
My mother would make me a big ol' bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast[00:00:23]
Awww big bowl of sauerkraut[00:00:27]
Every single mornin'[00:00:31]
It was driving me crazy[00:00:33]
I said to my mom[00:00:34]
I said[00:00:35]
Hey mom what's up with all the sauerkraut[00:00:35]
And my dear sweet mother[00:00:37]
She just looked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train[00:00:39]
And she leaned right down next to me[00:00:42]
And she said It's good for you[00:00:45]
And then she tied me to the wall and stuck a funnel in my mouth[00:00:49]
And force fed me nothing but sauerkraut until[00:00:52]
I was twenty six and a half years old[00:00:54]
That's when I swore that someday[00:00:56]
Someday I would get outta that basement and travel to a magical far away place[00:00:58]
Where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer[00:01:02]
And the towels are oh so fluffy[00:01:05]
Where the shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long[00:01:07]
And anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for a nickel[00:01:10]
Wacka wacka doodoo yeah[00:01:14]
Well let me tell you people it wasn't long at[00:01:15]
All before my dream came true[00:01:17]
Because the very next day a local radio station had this contest[00:01:19]
To see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's butt[00:01:22]
I was off by three but I still won the grand prize[00:01:27]
That's right a first class one-way ticket to[00:01:30]
Albuquerque[00:01:33]
Albuquerque[00:01:38]
Oh yeah[00:01:42]
You know I'd never been on a real airplane before[00:01:44]
And I gotta tell ya it was really great[00:01:46]
Except that I had to sit between two large[00:01:48]
Albanian women with excruciatingly severe body odor[00:01:50]
And the little kid in back of me kept throwin' up the whole time[00:01:53]
The flight attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted peanuts[00:01:56]
And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore[00:01:59]
And oh yeah three of the airplane engines burned out[00:02:02]
And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside[00:02:04]
And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died[00:02:06]
Except for me[00:02:11]
You know why[00:02:13]
Cause I had my tray table up[00:02:14]
And my seat back in the full upright position[00:02:16]
Had my tray table up[00:02:19]
And my seat back in the full upright position[00:02:22]
Had my tray table up[00:02:24]
And my seat back in the full upright position[00:02:27]
Ah ha ha ha[00:02:30]
Ah ha ha[00:02:32]
Ahhhh[00:02:33]
So I crawled from the twisted burnin' wreckage[00:02:35]
I crawled on my hands and knees for three full days[00:02:37]
Draggin' along my big leather suitcase and my garment bag[00:02:41]
And my tenor saxophone and my twelve-pound bowling ball[00:02:45]
And my lucky lucky autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel[00:02:48]
But finally I arrived at the world famous Albuquerque Holiday Inn[00:02:52]
Where the towels are oh so fluffy[00:02:56]
And you can eat your soup right out of the ashtrays if you wanna[00:02:58]
It's okay they're clean[00:03:01]
Well I checked into my room and I turned down the A/C[00:03:03]
And I turned on the SpectraVision[00:03:05]
And I'm just about to eat that little chocolate mint on my pillow[00:03:07]
That I love so very very much when suddenly there's a knock on the door[00:03:09]
Well now who could that be[00:03:14]
I say[00:03:15]
Who is it[00:03:16]
No answer[00:03:17]
Who is it[00:03:18]
There's no answer[00:03:19]
Who is it[00:03:21]
They're not sayin' anything[00:03:22]
So finally I go over and I open the door and just as I suspected[00:03:24]
It's some big fat hermaphrodite with a Flock Of Seagulls haircut and only one nostril[00:03:28]
Oh man I hate it when I'm right[00:03:33]
So anyway he bursts into my room and he grabs my lucky snorkel[00:03:36]
And I'm like[00:03:39]
Hey you can't have that[00:03:40]
That snorkel's been just like a snorkel to me[00:03:41]
And he's like tough[00:03:44]
And I'm like give it[00:03:45]
And he's like make me[00:03:46]
And I'm like 'kay[00:03:48]
So I grabbed his leg and he grabbed my esophagus[00:03:49]
And I bit off his ear and he chewed off my eyebrows[00:03:52]
And I took out his appendix and he gave me a colonic irrigation[00:03:54]
Yes indeed you better believe it[00:03:57]
And somehow in the middle of it all the phone got knocked off the hook[00:04:00]
And twenty seconds later I heard a familiar voice[00:04:03]
And you know what it said[00:04:06]
I'll tell you what it said[00:04:08]
It said[00:04:09]
If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again[00:04:10]
If you need help hang up and then dial your operator[00:04:15]
If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again[00:04:20]
If you need help hang up and then dial your operator[00:04:25]
Albuquerque[00:04:30]
Albuquerque[00:04:36]
Well to cut a long story short he got away with my snorkel[00:04:40]
But I made a a solemn vow right then and there that[00:04:44]
I would not rest[00:04:46]
I would not sleep for an instant until the one-nostrilled man was brought to justice[00:04:47]
But first I decided to buy some donuts[00:04:51]
So I got in my car and I drove over to the donut shop[00:04:53]
And I walked on up to the guy behind the counter[00:04:56]
And he says[00:04:58]
Yeah what do ya want[00:04:59]
I said[00:05:04]
You got any glazed donuts[00:05:04]
He said[00:05:06]
No we're outta glazed donuts[00:05:06]
I said[00:05:09]
You got any jelly donuts[00:05:09]
He said[00:05:11]
No we're outta jelly donuts[00:05:12]
I said[00:05:14]
You got any Bavarian cream-filled donuts[00:05:14]
He said[00:05:17]
No we're outta Bavarian cream-filled donuts[00:05:17]
I said[00:05:20]
You got any cinnamon rolls[00:05:20]
He said[00:05:22]
No we're outta cinnamon rolls[00:05:22]
I said[00:05:24]
You got any apple fritters[00:05:25]
He said[00:05:27]
No we're outta apple fritters[00:05:27]
I said[00:05:29]
You got any bear claws[00:05:30]
He said[00:05:32]
Wait a minute I'll go check[00:05:33]
No we're outta bear claws[00:05:44]
I said[00:05:46]
Well in that case in that case what do you have[00:05:47]
He says[00:05:51]
All I got right now is this box of one dozen starving crazed weasels[00:05:52]
I said[00:05:57]
Okay I'll take that[00:05:57]
So he hands me the box and[00:05:58]
I open up the lid and the weasels jump out[00:06:00]
And they immediately latch onto my face and start bitin' me all over[00:06:02]
Oh man they were just going nuts[00:06:07]
They were tearin' me apart[00:06:09]
You know I think it was just about that time[00:06:11]
That a little ditty started goin' through my head[00:06:13]
I believe it went a little something like this[00:06:16]
Doh[00:06:19]
Get 'em off me[00:06:20]
Get 'em off me[00:06:21]
Oh[00:06:22]
No get 'em off get 'em off[00:06:22]
Oh oh God oh God[00:06:24]
Oh get 'em off me[00:06:25]
Oh oh God[00:06:26]
Ah ah ah[00:06:27]
I ran out into the street with these flesh-eating weasels all over my face[00:06:30]
Wavin' my arms all around and just runnin' runnin' runnin'[00:06:33]
Like a constipated wiener dog[00:06:35]
And as luck would have it that's exactly when[00:06:38]
I ran into the girl of my dreams[00:06:40]
Her name was Zelda[00:06:43]
She was a calligraphy enthusiast with a slight overbite[00:06:45]
And hair the color of strained peaches[00:06:48]
I'll never forget the first thing she said to me[00:06:50]
She said[00:06:53]
Hey you've got weasels on your face[00:06:53]
That's when I knew it was true love[00:06:56]
We were inseparable after that[00:06:58]
Aw we ate together we bathed together[00:07:00]
We even shared the same piece of mint-flavored dental floss[00:07:03]
The world was our burrito[00:07:06]
So we got married and we bought us a house[00:07:08]
And had two beautiful children Nathaniel and Superfly[00:07:10]
Oh we were so very very very happy aw yeah[00:07:14]
But then one fateful night Zelda said to me[00:07:18]
She said[00:07:21]
Sweetie pumpkin[00:07:22]
Do you wanna join the Columbia Record Club[00:07:23]
I said[00:07:28]
Whoa hold on now baby[00:07:29]
I'm just not ready for that kind of a commitment[00:07:31]
So we broke up and I never saw her again[00:07:34]
But that's just the way things go[00:07:36]
Albuquerque[00:07:39]
Albuquerque[00:07:44]
Anyway things really started lookin' up for me[00:08:00]
Because about a week later I finally achieved my lifelong dream[00:08:02]
That's right I got me a part-time job at The Sizzler[00:08:06]
I even made employee of the month after[00:08:09]
I put out that grease fire with my face[00:08:11]
Aw yeah everybody was pretty jealous of me after that[00:08:13]
I was gettin' a lot of attitude[00:08:16]
OK like one time I was out in the parking lot[00:08:18]
Tryin' to remove my excess earwax with a golf pencil[00:08:20]
When I see this guy Marty tryin' to carry a big ol'[00:08:23]
Sofa up the stairs all by himself[00:08:25]
So I[00:08:27]
I say to him I say[00:08:28]
Hey you want me to help you with that[00:08:29]
And Marty he just rolls his eyes and goes[00:08:30]
No I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw[00:08:33]
So I did[00:08:37]
And then he gets all indignant on me[00:08:38]
He's like[00:08:40]
Hey man I was just being sarcastic[00:08:41]
Well that's just great[00:08:43]
How was I supposed to know that[00:08:44]
I'm not a mind reader for cryin' out loud[00:08:46]
Besides now he's got a really cute nickname Torso-Boy[00:08:48]
So what's he complaining about[00:08:51]
Say that reminds me of another amusing anecdote[00:08:54]
This guy comes up to me on the street[00:08:57]
And says he hasn't had a bite in three days[00:08:58]
Well I knew what he meant[00:09:01]
But just to be funny I took a big bite out of his jugular vein[00:09:02]
And he's yellin' and screamin' and bleeding all over[00:09:06]
And I'm like[00:09:09]
Hey come on don'tcha get it[00:09:09]
But he just keeps rolling around on the sidewalk bleeding and screaming[00:09:11]
You know just completely missing the irony of the whole situation[00:09:16]
Man some people just can't take a joke you know[00:09:19]
Anyway um um where was I[00:09:22]
Kinda lost my train of thought[00:09:28]
Uh well uh okay[00:09:30]
Anyway I I know it's kinda been a roundabout way of saying it[00:09:32]
But I guess the whole point I'm tryin' to make here is[00:09:35]
I hate Sauerkraut[00:09:37]
That's all I'm really tryin' to say[00:09:41]
And by the way if one day you happen to wake up[00:09:42]
And find yourself in an existential quandry[00:09:44]
Full of loathing and self-doubt[00:09:47]
And wracked with the pain and isolation of your pitiful meaningless existence[00:09:49]
At least you can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that[00:09:53]
Somewhere out there in this crazy mixed-up old universe of ours[00:09:55]
There's still a little place called[00:10:00]
Albuquerque[00:10:03]
Albuquerque[00:10:08]
