The Weird Al Show Theme

Oh, this is a story 'bout a guy named Al

And he lived in a sewer with his hamster pal

But the sanitation workers really didn't approve

So he packed up his accordion and had to move

To a city in Ohio where he lived in a tree

And he worked in a nasal decongestant factory

And he played on the company bowling team

And every single night he had a strange recurring dream

Where he was wearing lederhose in a vat of sour cream

But that's really not important to the story

Well, the very next year he met a dental hygienist

With a spatula tattooed on her arm (on her arm)

But he didn't keep in touch

And he lost her number

Then he got himself a job on a tator tot farm

And he spent his life-savings on a split-level cave

Twenty miles below the surface of the Earth (of the Earth)

And he really makes a might fine jelly bean and pickle sandwich

For what it's worth

Then one day Al was in the forest trying to get a tan

When he heard the tortured screaming of a funny little man

He was caught in a bear trap and Al set him free

And the guy that he rescued was grateful as could be

And it turns out he's a big-shot producer on TV

So he gives Al a contract and whaddya know

Now he's got his very own Weird Al show

[much unintelligible talking and yelling]
