Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The scenery was just so pretty, boy I wish the could've seen it
But you see out of the side of the car
the windows are completely covered
With the decals from all the where we've already been

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

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

Well, we crossed the state line about
And we saw the sign that said, "Twine exit, fifty miles"
Oh, the kids so happy 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 and a diet chocolate soda

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, we walked up it and I warned the kids
"Now, you better not touch it, those 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 decals and anything else they'd sell us
And I a couple postcards
"Greetings from the ball, wish you were here"
Won't the back home be jealous?

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

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

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

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

Well, we stayed that night at the Ball Inn
In the morning we on our way home again
But we really want to leave, that was perfectly clear

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

I've been 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 in Minnesota

Minnesota, Minnesota,
