way back when i was just a little bitty boy living in a box under the stairs in the corner of the basement half a block down the street from jerrys bait shop
You know the place
Well anyway
Back then life was going swell and everything was just peachy
Except
Of course
for the undeniable fact that every single morning
My mother would make me a big bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast
Awww - big bowl of sauerkraut
Every single mornin
It wa driving me crazy
I said to my mom
I said "hey
Mom
Whats with all the sauerkraut?"
And my dear
Sweet mother
She just looked at my like a cow looks at an oncoming train
And she leaned right down next to me
And she said "its 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 twenty six and a half years old
Thats 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 glady shave your back for a nickel
Wacka wacka doodoo yeah
Well
Let me tell you
People
It wasnt 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 nimoys butt
I was off by three
But i still won the grand prize
Thats right
A first class one-way ticket to
Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Oh yeah
You know
Id 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 b
