Albuquerque Anyway
My mom told me, is it true?
Your family’s leaving, you are too?
When school starts, what am I gonna do?
Well whatever, forget it
Let’s go to the docks
If that seagull’s still there
We can hit it with rocks
Why are you leaving New Jersey?
Nah, I’m not crying it’s just my dust allergy

No, don’t think I care, I don’t care
Man I don’t care at all
I’ve got other friends and you’re not that special
You ain’t shit to me, can’t you see?
Totally glad you’re gone to a place far away
And where in hell is Albuquerque anyway?

Are you taking your car?
Are you taking your newt?
Are you taking your half-Jewish cousin who’s cute?
Will you come to my party when I turn 10?
Will you visit a lot or never again?

Just don’t think I care, I don’t care
Man I don’t care at all
I got other friends, and you’re not that special
You ain’t shit to me, can’t you see?
Totally glad you’re gone
Yeah I’m more than okay
And where in hell is Albuquerque anyway?
Remember the time you swallowed that penny?
Remember the time you stole that microscope kit?
Remember the time you got beat up by Benny?
Remember the time, the time-oh, sorry
Guess you gotta split

Tomorrow my mom’s taking me to the zoo
I’ll buy a stuffed monkey and name it after you
If I do that when you leave, can I come too?
If the answer is no, then it’s no

But please don’t think I care, I don’t care
Man I don’t care at all
I got other friends, and you’re not that special
You ain’t shit to me, can’t you see?
Totally glad you’re gone
And you’re leaving today
And where in hell is Albuquerque
I can tell it’s miles from me
Where in hell is Albuquerque anyway?
