Luyện nghe bài hát Milton

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

Now Milton was o-fficial director,
Electrical piano-playin' connector
An' the travel conductor
That we ever seen in our
He'd say "Whaddya mean, ya need more
"The world care whether ya look yer best!
"Simply show up at six A.M. with your instruments ...and your wives!"

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

He'd always arrive in the a' time
A five minutes ahead a' flight time
A-lookin' like he'd been through a needle's eye
He'd stand there, stoned and ta choke
On his Egg McMuffin an' his Coke
An' he'd throw all the tickets on the counter and say
"Check the and let's fly!"
"Well, whaddya mean, this is too much
"We only got forty-six a' freight!
"And if it don't go, who's gonna it to our fan club in Tacoma?"

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

When the drinks served up yonder...

Well, we deplaned at th' end
All the trouble seemed to again
Though Milton had ordered three station wagons, a pickup and a limo
And though he'd phoned to that Number Two
Cussin' an' fussin' an' turnin'
We'd always end up with two and a Pinto

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

Milton's bolder...

shut himself in room one-oh-four
Let in 'til he swept the floor
Adjusted the lampshade, aligned the TV, the faucet, called the promoter
"Well, whaddya mean the warmup show?
"You're me on! We're stars, ya know!
"And this ain't the way we was treated last at Six Flags Over Dakota!
"Now we have 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 Well, so's your wife! She's not? Well, to each his own.
"Beg pardon, it in my what? Well, really, Merle who?"

William Morris, us working...

Now, was a real good friend a' mine
An' we'd stuck together on down line
But was one or two points over which we just had to dee-bate
Like
Is not necessarily an that the crowd ain't gonna start throwin' tomatas
An' ya arrive at four for a five o'clock show
An' the stage ain't built an' there's no
About all ya could do is sit on yer butt an' cut
However, you give ol' Milton strong bodies, a nine-foot grand, a beer and a cigarette
An' you just knew 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 we'd
An' poor ol' Milton live with that; his brain just shorted out.
Well, he locked himself in the
An' when he didn't come out for an hour an' a half
We figgered that somethin' was wrong, but we had to remove all
We stood in shock and horror
When we busted down that bathroom door
And I hope I never see a sight that again; no, I don't
There was to do but close our eyes, an' bow our heads, an' vocalize
With a five-part acapella hymn, for him

What a we had in Milton...

Now gettin' ready, come next December
To put another concert tour
And I'm sad to say ol' Milton a-gonna be with us
No, it ain't gonna be the same
When they introduce us his name
So Milton, wherever you are, we you miss us!
See, Milton has moved on down the
Over the rainbow, lookin' for
Yeah, he's up there where the stage is always on
But we can't forget that hair
last we saw him a-settin' there
Holdin' his tambourine, suckin' his thumb, an' asleep on the john
