Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

Now, tell ya a tale that'll bust yer heart
That a few people knew, ta start
It all place when our concert tour was booked at the SeaTac Hilton?
I'll guarantee ev'ry word's the truth
Got witnesses ta it, too,
'Cause we all toured a fella by the name a' Milton

Now was o-fficial tour director,
Electrical piano-playin' connector
An' the travel conductor
That we seen in our lives
say "Whaddya mean, ya need more rest?
"The world don't care ya look yer best!
"Simply show up promptly at six A.M. with instruments ...and your wives!"

in sorta of "Bringing In The Sheaves" way]
Shall we at the airport?

always arrive in the nick a' time
A good five minutes ahead a' flight
A-lookin' like he'd drug through a needle's eye
He'd stand there, and about ta choke
On his Egg an' his giant Coke
An' then he'd throw all the tickets on the and say
"Check the bags and fly!"
"Well, mean, this is too much weight?
"We got forty-six pieces a' freight!
"And if it don't go, who's gonna explain it to our fan in Tacoma?"

We'd all get embarassed an' for the plane
While Milton there, bein' profane
But somehow he always managed ta get on ...in sort of a coma

When the were served up yonder...

Well, we at th' other end
All the trouble seemed to commence
Though Milton had ordered three station wagons, a pickup and a limo
And though he'd phoned ahead to that Two
Cussin' an' an' turnin' blue
We'd always end up two Datsoons and a Pinto

Now Milton took all a' that in stride
Laid on the floor, an' kicked an'
But we looked up to him for hope and salvation
But we'd sink to the bottom a' trav'lers
When he'd check us in a remote
And grab the clerk by his shirt an' tie an' say
"Whaddya mean, reservacines?"

Milton's bolder...

He'd shut himself in room
Let nobody in 'til he the floor
Adjusted the lampshade, aligned the TV, fixed the faucet, the promoter
"Well, whaddya we're the warmup show?
"You're me on! We're stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was treated last summer at Six Flags Dakota!
"Now we gotta a hunnert percent top billing,
"Two-thirds in advance, a' course, you silly!
"I'm sure we prefer a limosine and two air-conditioned dressing rooms, please.
"I'm what? Well, so's wife! She's not? Well, to each his own.
"Beg pardon, stick it in my Well, really, Merle who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, Milton was a real friend a' mine
An' we'd stuck together on that line
But there was one or two points over we just had to dee-bate
takin'-your-clothes-off-an'-hangin'-from-a-cross-in-front-a'-the-Tri-County-Fairgrounds
Is not necessarily an assurance that the crowd gonna start throwin' tomatas
An' when ya arrive at for a five o'clock show
An' the stage ain't built an' no electricity
About all ya could do is sit on yer butt an' cut
However, you give ol' Milton four strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a
An' you knew that show was gonna be ...outta state

Bringing in the
in the bread...

Now one night up in Washington
We didn't get paid for a show done
An' poor ol' Milton live with that; his brain just shorted out.
Well, he locked in the bathroom
An' then when he didn't come out for an an' a half
We figgered that was wrong, but we had to remove all doubt
We stood transfixed in shock and
we busted down that there bathroom door
And I I never see a sight like that again; no, I don't
There was to do but close our eyes, an' bow our heads, an' vocalize
With a silent acapella hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

Now we're gettin' ready, come next
To put another concert tour
And I'm sad to say ol' ain't a-gonna be with us
No, it gonna be exactly the same
When they introduce us without his
So Milton, wherever you are, we you miss us!
See, Milton has on down the road
Over the rainbow, lookin' for
Yeah, he's up there where the lights is always on
But we can't forget that curly
When last we saw him there
Holdin' his tambourine, suckin' his thumb, an' sound on the john
