Luyện nghe bài hát The Biggest Ball Of Twine In Minnesota

Well, I had two weeks of vacation time
After working all year down at 'Big Roy's Heating And
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 ball of twine in Minnesota"
They picked the biggest ball of twine in

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

Pulled out of the driveway and the
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 Whitman tape, my wife put on a brand 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

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

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

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

Like Elvis-O-Rama, the Museum
The Weevil Monument and Cranberry World
The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame, Dog Rock
And The Mecca of Squirrels

We've been to towns, theme parks, wax museums
And the place where you can drive the middle of a tree
We've seen alligator and tarantula ranches
But there's still one thing we 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 Bottles Of On The Wall" for the twenty-seventh time that day

So, we pulled off the at the last chance gas station
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 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 vision my unbelieving eyes

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

Yes, on these hallowed grounds, open ten to on weekdays
In a little under a makeshift pagoda

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

Oh, what on earth 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 Who was he trying to impress?
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 seem like a good idea at the time?

Well, we walked up beside it and I the kids
"Now, you better not touch it, those ropes are 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 only

Then we went to the gift shop and stood in
Bought a souvenir ball of twine
Some window and anything else they'd sell us
And I a couple postcards
"Greetings from the ball, wish you were here"
Won't the folks back home be

I our camera to Bernie and we stood by the ball
And we all gathered and said, "Cheese"
Then 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 eyes got moist but I 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 that's when those guards threw us out

You know, I bet if we unraveled that
roll all the way down 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 night at the Twine Inn
In the we were on our way home again
But we really didn't 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' back again year"

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

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

Minnesota, Minnesota,
