Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

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

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

So the very day we loaded up the car
With potato and pickled wieners
Crossword puzzles, Spider-Man
And mama's made rhubarb pie

Pulled out of the and the neighbors
all waved good-bye and so began our three day journey

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

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

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

Oh, we couldn't wait to get
So we drove straight through for whole days and nights
Of course, we stopped for more wieners now and then

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I parked the car and with awe-filled reverence
Toward glorious, huge, majestic sphere
I was just so overwhelmed by its sheer
I had to pop a beer

Yes, on hallowed grounds, open ten to eight on weekdays
In a little shrine under a pagoda

There sits the biggest of twine in Minnesota
I tell you, the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

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

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

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

Then we went to the gift shop and in line
Bought a miniature ball of twine
Some window decals and else they'd sell us
And I bought a couple
"Greetings from the ball, wish you were here"
Won't the folks home be jealous?

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

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

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

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

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

I said, "Folks, I can tell all sad to go"
I winked my eye and I said
"You know, I got a kind of feelin'
We'll be comin' again next 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 twine in
I the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

Minnesota, Minnesota,
