Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

Well, I had two weeks of time coming
After all year down at 'Big Roy's Heating And Plumbing'
So one night when my family and I gathered 'round the dinner table
I said, "Kids, if you could go anywhere in this big world now
you like 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 pickled
Crossword puzzles, Spider-Man
And home made rhubarb pie

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

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

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

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

Oh, we wait to get there
So we drove straight through for three whole days and
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 windows are covered
With the decals from all the places where we've been

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

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

Well, we the state 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 time that day

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, we walked up beside it and I the kids
"Now, you better not touch it, those are there for a reason"
I said, "Maybe if you're good, I'll tie it to the 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 of twine
window 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 to Bernie and we stood by the ball
And we all 'round and said, "Cheese"
Then Bernie ran away with my new Instamatic
But at least we got our

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

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

it's the biggest ball of twine 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 were on our way again
But we really didn't 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 back again next year"

'Cause I've been all around this big world
And I can't of anywhere else I'd rather go ta

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