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 '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 biggest of twine in Minnesota"
They the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota

So the very next day we up the car
With potato skins and pickled
Crossword puzzles, comics
And mama's home rhubarb pie

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

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

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

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

Oh, we couldn't to get there
So we drove straight through for three days and nights
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
the windows are completely covered
With the from all the places where we've already been

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

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

Well, we crossed the state about 6:39
And we saw the sign that said, "Twine Ball exit, miles"
Oh, the were so happy 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 biggest ball of in Minnesota

Finally, at 7:37 early 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 walked awe-filled reverence
Toward that glorious, huge, majestic
I was just so overwhelmed by its immensity
I had to pop myself a

Yes, on these hallowed grounds, open ten to 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 earth would make a man decide to do that of thing?
Oh, windin' up twenty-one thousand, one hundred forty pounds of

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 twine? What was goin' 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, ropes are there for a reason"
I said, "Maybe if you're good, I'll tie it to the of our car
And we can take it home", but I was only

Then we went to the shop and stood in line
Bought a souvenir miniature ball of
Some window decals and else they'd sell us
And I a couple postcards
"Greetings from the twine ball, 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"
Then Bernie ran away with my new Instamatic
But at we got our memories

So we all just stared at the ball for a
And my eyes got moist but I with a smile
"Kids, this what America's all about"
I started feelin' kinda 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 that sucker
It'd roll all the way to Fargo, North Dakota

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

Well, we stayed that at the Twine Ball Inn
In the morning we were on our way home
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 kind of
We'll be comin' again next year"

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

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

Minnesota, Minnesota,
