Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

Well, I had two weeks of vacation coming
After working all year down at 'Big Heating And Plumbing'
So one night when my family and I were gathered 'round the table
I said, "Kids, if you could go anywhere in great big world now
you like to go ta?"

They said, "Dad, we wanna see the ball of twine in Minnesota"
They picked the ball of twine in Minnesota

So the very next day we up the car
With potato skins and wieners
puzzles, Spider-Man comics
And mama's made rhubarb pie

out of the driveway and the neighbors
They all waved good-bye and so our three day journey

We up a guy holding a sign that said, "Twine ball or bust"
He smelled real bad and he his name was Bernie
I put in a Slim Whitman tape, my wife put on a brand new net
Kids were in the back seat up and down
Yelling, "Are we yet?"

And all of us were together in one common thought
As we rolled down the long and winding in our '53 DeSoto

We're gonna see the biggest ball of in Minnesota
We're headin' for the ball of twine in Minnesota

Oh, we couldn't to get there
So we drove straight for three whole days and nights
Of course, we stopped for more pickled wieners now and

The scenery was just so pretty, boy I the kids could've seen it
But you can't see out of the of the car
the windows are completely covered
With the decals from all the where we've already been

Like Elvis-O-Rama, the Museum
The Boll Monument and Cranberry World
The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame, Dog Rock
And The Mecca of Squirrels

been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums
And the place where you can drive through the of a tree
We've seen alligator and tarantula ranches
But there's still one thing we see

Well, we crossed the line about 6:39
And we saw the that said, "Twine Ball exit, fifty miles"
Oh, the kids were so they started singing
"99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall" for the twenty-seventh that day

So, we pulled off the road at the last chance gas
Got a few more pickled wieners and a chocolate soda

On our way to see the biggest of twine in Minnesota
We're gonna see the biggest ball of in Minnesota

Finally, at 7:37 early evening
As the sun was in the Minnesota sky
Out in the distance, on the
It appeared to me like a vision before my eyes

I parked the car and walked with awe-filled
that glorious, huge, majestic sphere
I was so overwhelmed by its sheer immensity
I had to pop myself a

Yes, on these hallowed grounds, open ten to eight on
In a little under a makeshift pagoda

There the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
I tell you, it's the ball of twine in Minnesota

Oh, what on earth would make a man to do that kind of thing?
Oh, windin' up twenty-one thousand, one hundred forty of string

What was he to prove? Who was he trying to impress?
Why did he build it? How did he do it? It's guess
Where did he get the What was goin' through his mind?
Did it seem like a good idea at the time?

Well, we walked up beside it and I the kids
"Now, you better not touch it, ropes are there for a reason"
I said, "Maybe if good, I'll tie it to the back of our car
And we can it home", but I was only teasin'

we went to the gift shop and stood in line
Bought a souvenir miniature ball of
Some window and anything else they'd sell us
And I a couple postcards
"Greetings from the twine ball, you were here"
Won't the folks back be jealous?

I gave our camera to Bernie and we stood by the
And we all 'round and said, "Cheese"
Then ran away with my brand new Instamatic
But at least we got our

So we all just at the ball for a while
And my eyes got moist but I said a smile
"Kids, this what America's all about"
Then I started feelin' gooey inside
And I fell on my knees and I and cried
And that's those security guards threw us out

You know, I bet if we that sucker
It'd roll all the way to Fargo, North Dakota

'Cause the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
I'm talkin' 'bout the biggest of twine in Minnesota

Well, we stayed that night at the Twine Inn
In the morning we were on our way again
But we didn't want to leave, that was perfectly clear

I said, "Folks, I can tell all sad to go"
Then I my eye and I said
"You know, I got a funny of feelin'
We'll be comin' back again year"

'Cause I've all around this great big world
And I think of anywhere else I'd rather go ta

Than the biggest ball of in Minnesota
I said the biggest ball of twine in

Minnesota, Minnesota,
