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 juuuuuuust 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 Aww, BIG. BOWL OF. SAUERKRAUT.
