Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

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

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

So the next day we loaded up the car
With potato skins and wieners
Crossword puzzles, Spider-Man
And home made rhubarb pie

Pulled out of the driveway and the
They all waved and so began our three day journey

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

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

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

Oh, we wait to get there
So we drove straight through for three whole days and
Of course, we for more pickled wieners now and then

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

Like Elvis-O-Rama, the Tupperware
The Boll Weevil Monument and Cranberry
The Hall Of Fame, Poodle Dog Rock
And The Mecca of Squirrels

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

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

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

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

Finally, at 7:37 early evening
As the sun was setting in the sky
Out in the distance, on the
It to me like a vision 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 myself a

Yes, on these hallowed grounds, ten to eight on weekdays
In a little shrine under a makeshift

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

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

What was he trying to prove? Who was he trying to
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 up beside it and I warned the kids
"Now, you not touch it, those ropes are there for a reason"
I said, "Maybe if good, I'll tie it to the back of our car
And we can take it home", but I was only

we went to the gift shop and stood in line
Bought a miniature ball of twine
Some window decals and anything else they'd us
And I bought a couple
"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 gathered 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 with a smile
"Kids, this here's what all about"
Then I started feelin' gooey inside
And I fell on my and I cried and cried
And that's those security guards threw us out

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

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

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

I said, "Folks, I can you're 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 been all around great big world
And I can't 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,
